Why would they?
- Google change their approach on messaging every year or two
- Google's RCS implementation has them hosting rather than the carrier (against spec)
- Google's RCS only just added E2EE for their group messages (or is that still beta? I can't find confirmation on that), and did not contain any E2EE or even confirmation they'd add it at launch
- Speaking of which, where was Googles interest in RCS pre-2019?
- RCS is phone number linked (as a carrier service probably should be), so how would compatibility with iCloud/Apple users work?
It seems like a bad decision for Apple and a regression for users who broadly have solved the issue themselves by using alternatives (WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Matrix, etc).
