Yeah good luck with that. It's very much a dick move but I don't think you'll have success arguing in court that Apple is obligated to open their personal messaging system to competitors.

You'd have much better luck arguing that they need to open up SMS use to other apps, and that that they need to allow sideloading and other app stores. These are the REAL anticompetitive concerns.
