This is a lawyer excuse. I've had Signal for years and the number of spam messages I've received over it is none. It's not a real problem.

It's also ignoring the root issue. Adding RCS to iMessages doesn't affect the spam. You'll still get it from both SMS and RCS.
Apple not adding RCS is 100% due to keeping market share.
Consider yourself lucky. I get hundreds.
Of course the real solution should be on the network's end, but not giving out your number to any businesses is probably the best thing you can do while still accepting random texts from anybody.
IMessage is full of profitable phone owners
What's the advantage of iMessage spam? Group chat spam? Higher quality video spam? Is that worth all the effort to do your spamming only on Apple devices?
