I think it would be hard to push out such a feature in such a short span. Beeper’s userbase is tiny and not an immediate security threat to Apple.

Its unlikely. They had pre-existing infrastructure for this via their Apple Messages For Business[0] program, which includes all the backbone to show that the account is verified (including the checkmark and info tab). This appears to be an extension of that for consumer accounts
