Given that, showing up in a group chat as a lone blue bubble marks you out as the inferior group member
Not really how it works though. If there are 74 iMessage users and 1 Android user, ALL chats become green. Ergo Android users are often simply omitted from chats.
This. I was the last member of my family on Android and made the fam text chain a mess to the point there was a separate one with everyone but me and I would have to look at it on my wife’s phone.
I finally got an iPhone partly because of this. Also because the mini is just a much better size than anything that was available android wise that I liked.

Your fam made the text chain a mess by using iMessage. They could use literally any other messenger without problems.
Oh for sure, but that is just how it goes. iMessage is just the default and slowly takes over.
