The EU has dragged Apple through the mud in order to make them change for the better, they will be able to do the same.
If what the first commenter said is true. They will just implement RCS or an alternative in the EU and make up some reason why they can't or won't for the US market.
I'll take it. Whatever makes them suffer at least a little bit. (Apple, that is.)
USB C was a hardware change. Economically it was not viable to run separate production lines of lightning/ USB-C phones.
RCS is a software issue. Supporting RCS in certain regions but not others (the US for example) is much simpler.
