Especially when the people who should be doing this, the carriers, could easily make it part of their requirements and force Apple's hand to be part of their networks.

The carriers milked SMS for all it was worth then moved on to the next cash cow - data. There's no value left in messaging for the carriers so they damn sure don't want to shoulder the cost.

Honestly I don't want the carriers nor Google nor Apple nor anyone in charge of "universal" messaging. This is going to sound like some buzzword bandwagon pipe dream shite but I think we need to start moving away from messaging via phone numbers and email addresses and look to blockchain messaging.
