I'm sure horde of Apple fanatics and useful idiots will gladly throw your wife under the bus, because:
* Just buy an Android if you don't like it
* This is not the Apple way
* My grandma has much better experience this way, because I don't have to some made up reason why this is impossible on Android
* Green bubble
* Much more secure this way
* I don't like when someone has different use case than I do
* It would be even worse on Android
* Think of the kids
Did I forget something?
