IMO RCS was a diversion put up by Google against Apple but I’m not sure what was the exact reason behind it.
Not even using RCS right now with anyone, worst thing I can do with my friends is chat on WhatsApp if they don’t have iPhones and I doubt RCS‘s popularity in the 🇪🇺
RCS is just a more modern messaging standard. Google wanted Apple to implement it so bad because it makes messaging Android users nicer. And yes, it doesn’t matter in Europe so much, but the US uses the preinstalled messaging apps. So iPhone users get iMessage talking to iPhone users and fell back to SMS whenever talking to Android users.
