Sounds like you need new colleagues. Why would you wish to be part of such a snobbish group? I fail to see why anti-trust law should be brought to bear on issues concerning teen fads. How about wearing the right kind of sneakers? Branded purses, handbags? Parkas? Should uniformity reign universal across all consumer products lest someone, somewhere be excluded to a faddish distinction?

This is not one group. This is every single group of American iPhone users. Try to get off iMessenger if you want to see it for yourself.
No it isn't. Nearly all of my group chats are mixed iPhone/Android skewing towards iPhone. We use Facebook Messenger
It's not snobby. It's a recognition of the ridiculous walls that Apple puts up around their garden.
