I think the DOJ's 88-page point of view is that Apple knows very well how 
trivially easy it would be for Apple to give iOS & Android users privacy 
when its own users are communicating between iOS & Android users via RCS.

The DOJ's point of view seems to be Apple expressly wants NOBODY to have 
privacy (not even Apple users!) when they communicate between platforms.

Apple doesn't care that even its own users won't have that privacy.
All Apple cares about is screwing its own customers to make more money.
