I find it ironic that everything listed on that options screen of "features" that RCS enables are things I'd turn off - Read receipts - no thank you - Typing

  The only thing that interests me is end to end encryption, but if it's not free and open source software then I'm not interested.

  For me, texting is a more immediate medium than say, email. I keep read receipts and typing indicators turned on by default. I think it's a personal preference but for me it shifts the tone of the medium in a way I find valuable and honest.

  Sounds like you'd be the type of person that would want to use e-mail instead. You'd get benefits for switching too -- e.g. not exposing your phone number to the person, increasing your privacy, and ensuring that they cannot prank call you in the middle of the night, etc.

    Email has read receipts, too, and I turn them off there, too. When I send a message to someone, it's none of my business when/if they've read it, or when/if they're replying to it; they'll respond when they choose to respond. That it generally orthogonal to the actual medium for any asynchronous medium. Team messaging (like irc, Slack, etc), txt, and email each have their own use case and fill different roles.
