They want to use the iMessage messaging service, which is an Apple
product. They could use WhatsApp, Signal, or any number of other
messaging services, but they desperately want to use Apple's. And the
fact that you think you are somehow being "clever" by calling it a
"mainframe" is laughably weak.

You're ignorant. MMS messages are inherently *not* sent over the
internet, but over cellular networks.

Nope, they could use any number of alternative messaging apps, but want
to use iMessage instead.
