Why do iMessage & Facetime require constant logging in, while Google Voice does not?

[Andy Burnelli]

Why does FaceTime & iMessage require constant repetitive logging in,
while Google Voice, Safari, the App Store & iOS upgrades do not?

Despite multiple daily nagging by Apple to repeatedly confirm my Apple ID
on the Apple mothership tracking servers, I have refused for years
<Loading Image...> Apple requires frequent login!

Eventually Apple locked me out, unilaterally, of Facetime & iMessage.
That's no loss whatsoever, but the experimental results are what matter.
<Loading Image...> Apple _forces_ a log in!

It's clear that you must repeatedly sign into Apple mothership tracking
servers in order to use some of the more trackable apps, which is shown.
<Loading Image...> Apple _forces_ extra logins!

Note that you're logged in which is shown by the fact you can update iOS.

An example of something similar to iMessage is Google Voice, which, let's be
very clear, does NOT require us to do what Apple's iMessage requires of us.

Why is that?

You're lying or ignorant...

...or more likely, both:

Looks like it wanted me to be signed into Google, doesn't it...

...Asshole.

WTF? I have had an Apple phone for about 5 years now and have NEVER been asked to logon for iMessage send or receive.
