Why can I not turn off IMessage

My phone will not allow me to turn off iMessage, the toggle is greyed over, as is my info at the very top of the settings menu - where you go for Apple ID, iCloud, media, and purchases. How do I fix this?

iPhone 13 Pro

If an app or feature on your device is not working or is restricted, it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.
