is not rcs simply another locked down standard under the thumb of google, which they have decided to limit and block on rooted devices in the past?

correct me if im wrong ? but this all seems like a freight train of no good barelling in. google propoganda has won out and we’re swapping one gatekept standard for another.

And it’s still tied to your phone number!

Why would I want another messenger that’s tied to a phone number?

RCS is too little, too late. I’ll never use it.
