You mean the same Apple, who supports RCS, and historically supported open protocols?

As to iMessage, think carefully about the architecture, and maybe you can imagine why it is Apple only.

You are obviously very new to the tech world if you dont recall the many years of customer lobbying, and Apple refusing outright for a long time until they were strongarmed into it by law. You cant then turn around and claim they are all sunshine and roses because they support open protocols when they were forced to begrudgingly.

Uh huh. And since you are so tech savey I am sure you understand the legitimate reasons? Because it seems you just want to complain about Apple.

As a fanboy I can admit rcs came with them kicking and screaming against it.

didn't it take legal threats from the EU to ultimately make it happen?

Yeah, and I’ve yet to make any use of this feature. Nice to have, but let’s not pretend RCS is that big of a deal in any way.
