I’m celebrating the antispam properties of device attestation, not asking anyone to trust Apple. I’m quite upset that Google RCS doesn’t include device attestation. It would have helped us get rid of text spam in carrier messaging, and made a convincing case for adoption by telcos. Imagine being able to block text spam by the equipment sending it. Imagine being able to block phone spam by the equipment calling you. It’s a missed opportunity for Google and for all of us.

That statement is false. Primary reason is, that Apple wanted to lock customers in their ecosystem.

Also attestation doesn't stop spam (see other responses in this thread) and is harmful mechanism that will lead to more walled gardens.
