The difference is that SMS is a dumb, text-only format with no features. And so it made it easy for people to switch to WhatsApp, iMessage etc as they could easily offer compelling features.
RCS has a lot of those compelling features and so would be able to take market share away from those proprietary apps.
Great right ? Well no because RCS is unencrypted specifically so that carriers and governments can read your messages.
