Cause it would be better for Apple's customers. This one doesn't even have the "my parents security" defense like installing non app store apples does. Do you honestly think any costumer WANTS iPhone to be shitty at sending images?
Why do you have to defend every little thing that Apple does as if you were their lawyer? I get that you like some parts of their walled garden, but why do Apple stans behave as if Apple was a sacred company that could do no wrong, when there examples like this that they are literally harming their own customers to protect their moat. I get why Apple does it, I don't get why anyone here would side with Apple.
You're conflating things. What some people might want Apple to do is different from what Apple should be legally obligated to do.
If someone doesn't like the fact that the Messages app doesn't support <X>, they should not buy an iPhone then, if it's that important to them.
Pretty simple calculus. Apple made a choice, and then they can suffer the consequences of a lost sale because of that choice.
When I send photos to an android user, I just use a different method. it really is not a big deal.
