We did. RCS was made over a decade ago by mobile phone OEMs
Except now that everything runs Android and theres so few OEMs left, Google gets to dictate a ton of stupid requirements even though it’s open source and runs off the Linux kernel.
They already paid Samsung to remove RCS from their messages app so that google messages would be the only major app with support.
Incidentally, it runs like complete garbage compared to even the OEM SMS apps of Android jellybean.
So when they go around making a hissy fit about imessage, I really don’t care because I can’t even use RCS without using their shitty gapp.
The current alternative is a data based app like signal.
Google should be forced to open up RCS to third-parties with this move.
Why? How about we just make something better.
