I mean, it won't be. It's quite clear that while the Beeper company may have good intentions on paper, they also definitely want to make as much money as possible. They aren't 100% bad, but also not 100% good either.
Considering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that, I can't believe that their company will last long legally. The only way to keep Android users being able to use this will be to make it open source and go "underground". But I hope Apple will have a massive PR disaster on their hands while this happens.

But, isn't that what APIs do? Why would that get Beeper in legal trouble if they are paying their license fee? I'm not being facetious, genuinely curious.
There is no public iMessage API that people can pay to use. Beeper (or rather the code it's based on) reverse-engineered the iMessage protocol and server APIs and they simply make the same requests as the iMessage app on iOS would.
