That's incredibly presumptuous of you to claim Apple is doing this purposely. It seems pretty obvious to me that it's a non-trivial fix for Apple,
Obviously it's a non-trivial fix when they engineered their system on the assumption that nobody should ever leave the iPlatform.
It might be a "stretch", but you could say designing your system in such a way that there's no clean way to leave is intentionally making it hard to leave. Or would that make you a lunatic?
Seriously though. Almost every ex-iPhone user I meet thinks SMS is broken on Android, because other iPhone-users (like wifes) no longer is able to message them. And I'm pretty sure Apple is 100% OK with that.
