> they should just mandate RCS

RCS doesn't have e2ee in the standard.

Agreed. Which is why I think they should come up with an official standard that does.

It won't be mandated but iOS is getting RCS so we can all move on

Or matrix. It's really great and it can interface with most other networks already.

No please don't mandate a specific protocol (that probably suck!) instead require the successful/important protocol tho become interoperable.

If you mandate that the winning protocol be interoperable you end forward progress on that protocol.

If you mandate an official protocol be available alongside others, that protocol can be kept up to date by committee.
