I think you are joking, as this is actual reality for many younger people, isn’t it?

Blue vs green bubbles is a subtext of an unspoken class system:

iPhone = for rich people Android = for poor people

Thus if you’re a teen and you have a green bubble, you are poor.

There are some functional issues as well, my understanding is that group chats in particular are inconsistent for Android members of the group.

No, teens are mostly using other services like Snapchat, IG, WhatsApp, even TikTok for messaging their friends. iMessage is for communicating with old family members.
