MODERATORS
All of this is available on just about every messaging service, so the real answer is tribalism and lack of consumer education.
But still, if you have an Android and someone you want to text has an iPhone, you're using SMS, not RCS.
I do believe RCS-compatibility for iMessage would make take a chunk out of iPhone sales honestly.
Um, no, most of us just use WhatsApp
But most iPhone sales are in a region where WhatsApp is irrelevant.
