I’d love to see an open, secure, universal rich messaging standard adopted by everyone but we know that’s not gonna happen.

Carriers have literally no incentive to improve on SMS, I doubt they’ll lose any customers because of a lack of RCS adoption.

Do I like the locked in nature of iMessage? Not really, but it’s honestly not that big of a deal here (UK).

I just don’t like how Google talks about their proprietary messaging service as though it’s an industry standard. It’s not. Google RCS is not RCS.
