Most people I know just use SMS and that's where Apples solutions is brilliant. My mom doesn't know she's using iMessage, nor does she care, she just thinks it's SMS. Personally I believe that the majority of iMessage users are completely unaware that Apple silently upgrades your communication from SMS to iMessage.

You can call it whatever you want, who ever came up with that idea at Apple should have been given a bonus. It's an absolutely brilliant idea that provides Apple users with a solution better than SMS/MMS completely seamlessly.
Whether you or I feel like it's the right, or even a moral defendable, solution is irrelevant for most other users.
