> If Apple insists, we would consider adding a pager emoji to metadata on all messages sent via Beeper Mini. This would make it easy for Messages App to filter out any messages from Beeper Mini users.

Why would they not just shut it down if Apple asks, wouldn't that just do the same thing (beeper users can't send messages)

I'm guessing they think Apple might consider an opt-out (or more likely opt-in) setting to allow messages from other platforms.
