Well, if SMS is dead then RCS is what we get instead, and there's no difference to us (and probably higher costs for Signal & al.)

And there are wayyyy too many things that depend on SMS for it to be dead any time soon, too :)

Also Signal cannot add RCS support, because Google Jibe servers won't allow other app than Google Messages... And you must use them because native RCS support for Android is halted for years... And you cannot install some module with RCS support yourself because of anti-Unix monolitic Android userspace architecture...

Man, there are so many things done wrong.
