Remember this is the same company that has to either comply with the EU bridging regulation between messaging platforms or withdraw from the market.

I think they dodged that as well… https://arstechnica.com/?p=1989111

“Android users’ hopes that Apple’s iMessage would be forced to open up in the European Union have been dashed. Bloomberg reports that iMessage won’t qualify for the EU’s new “Digital Markets Act,” allowing Apple to keep iMessage exclusive to Apple users. …”

Basically because nobody in Europe uses iMessage. This is a WhatsApp town.
