Not really, the type of encryption used isn’t necessarily a barrier to interoperability.
Quantum computing is developing quickly, and is a threat to conventional encryption methods. There is a good chance we will see quantum computing break many forms of encryption used today in the near future. As such, most companies developing secure platforms are now embracing quantum-resistant encryption.
This isn’t necessarily (another) attempt to reinforce the walls around the iMessage garden, just Apple being proactive about a potential future security danger. Other messaging platforms will be doing the same, if they are not already.
Yeah and iMessage is used by shitloads of people for all kinds of sensitive stuff. A company like Apple absolutely doesn’t want to be in the headlines when the first salvo of quantum hacks start making the news. This is just them covering their ass.
