Almost 80 million users of whatsapp in the US (330m pop) vs 120 million users in all of Europe (746m pop) kind of undermines that line of reasoning? If anything, the US uses whatsapp way more than Europe. If we were looking at true third party messaging platforms that aren't owned by trillion dollar mega corps that can push their products onto every phone, then... maybe? The US barely uses Telegram compared to Europe…
Sorry a quick Google suggests your figures for EU users is very inaccurate. Do you have a source?

It is. Apple essentially uses a scoring model. The legitimacy of your device is only one part of the score; your Apple ID and its history and standing is another. Those and other factors are calculated into a score, and if you meet the threshold, you can use iMessage. Think of it as a credit score. Before the Beeper saga, I haven’t looked into it since Hackintosh users have found that Apple will allow you to use iMes…
They can also false positive your account, which I’ve personally seen. It’s incredible because the software doesn’t tell you what’s going on. The backend just rejects you.
I’m sure false positives happen, that’s inevitable. Them not telling you anything other than to contact CS is pretty standard practice.
You don’t want malicious actors that are poking and prodding to take notes.
But CS tends to be pretty friendly about it, even when you clearly tried to pass off a BS serial as real, so there’s that.
