Why would anyone (Apple or otherwise) buy into an already fragmented Google "standard" knowing full well that Google has a pernicious habit of killing off messaging products?

There are at least a few major carriers in North America offering RCS support.

One-on-one E2EE is a big deal and I would to see Apple on-board with it too, including without iCloud exceptions.
