That’s very ableist of you.
About 1 in 12 males are colorblind. I’m in this group.
I find white text on a bright green background very difficult to read.

I do agree that the green bubbles aren’t great looking but thats what they chose for iOS even prior to iMessage existing.
This isn't a good answer. We can use sensible attractive UI/UX defaults without being exclusive.
The thing with accessibility is that it does affect everyone.
If you get woken up by a call and open iMessage in the middle of the night, being able to read the message accurately while blinking away eye gunk matters.
Better contrast helps you read your text message if your phone is on a table across from you lying flat.
There's going to be times you're trying to read a message and your phone won't be 100% in front of you at arms length and you are able to take the time to bring the phone into focus with proper lighting around you.

I still believe this is an issue. Colorblind or not, everyone probably has had difficulties reading their phone in direct sunlight. But these are seriously not insurmountable technical problems at all and the excuse is pretty weak.
This is not up to Android, it is up to Apple how their UX displays texts to non-Apple users.
What if 3 in 12 who aren’t colorblind find it easier to read white on green?
Not everything is worthy of a social justice battle.
