There really should be some standards that specified how chat bubbles can have the same set of functionality as FB Messenger, WeChat, Kik, Google's Allo and others. It's becoming more common to have "interactive" chat messages with buttons inside, or messages that makes buttons appear somewhere on the bottoms of the screen.

It would be better if communication technology with more than (say) 1M users would be forced to obey open standards. This is the case for telephony, so why not enforce it for social media as well?

Would be an appropriate measure but I do not have too much hope at the moment for such a clear political move. Later there may come a point where it's too late.

This seems to be a good task for the EFF, https://www.eff.org/
