In Taiwan, nobody uses iMessage. It's an app called Line and it's basically the WeChat of Taiwan.
So we can basically hop from Apple to Android without issues with our messages. So that's why the % of Apple users are not inflated because of the dark patterns they are doing in the US.
The advantage of iMessage is SMS fallback when you don't have internet access.
Usually when you don't have internet access, it's because you don't have any signal at all.
