RCS would still be a benefit to incorporate without the E2E solution, as it would improve nearly every other aspect of communication over SMS/MMS.
I 100% agree that Apple wrong for not supporting RCS (and I am an iPhone user). However, I personally choose to only use E2E for my communication be that iMessage or Signal.
Oh, I agree and would love to do the same. However, moving any of my family who currently uses Android over to any other platform is impossible. I can't tell my wife I won't text her anymore unless she uses it. That won't go over well hahah
Where possible, I use encrypted communication, but if doing so would result in me cutting off a friend or family member, I won't do so.
However, I would love to be able to text Android users without crappy quality and the other limitations of SMS/MMS.
