Yes, why shouldn't the next standard (like 6G) introduce support for a better messaging network than SMS? With group chats and image support. Each carrier could decide if you can send unlimited messages or a few thousand. In any case it would remove this dependency on a single company.

  It already exists and is enabled by default (at least on my Pixel phone using the default messaging client). https://support.google.com/messages/answer/10262381 https://support.google.com/messages/answer/10262381

    That's not part of RCS, that's a Google extension.
