So if a company is large enough it should be forced to provide free use of its infrastructure?

Can I also demand google provide me with free use of their infrastructure?

If it's the only way to achieve interoperability with a communication protocol, then yes.

Core infrastructure like this should be treated and regulated more like a utility.

Suggesting that iMessage, and not SMS/data connectivity, is “core infrastructure” is bizarre, especially given that no one else in the world uses it or cares about it - essentially proving that it’s not.
