It seems you don't realize that the fact you don't know that carrier's
towers aren't the same as the Internet means you never could answer it.

I know this very well.

 Whew! Because that means you must understand then, that you DO NOT have to
enter a login and password to an Internet server in order to messaging on
Android.

Why do you imagine that the only kinds of servers are "internet servers"?

 For you to bring up the carriers' cell towers in this conversation simply
means you understand the 1st things of the most basic messaging actions.
 Leave that to the iPhone morons please - they're used to logging into an
Internet server every second of their entire lives just to use Messages.

Not to use MESSAGES. iPhones send SMS messages in exactly the same way that Android phones to.

You are being stupid.

 No. You don't understand how messaging works on Android.
HINT: There is no need to enter a login/password into any Internet server.

Again, you attempt to hide a straw man in your argument...
...if you're bright enough to even know it's called a "straw man".

 

1. To send/receive SMS on any phone you need to activate the Subscriber
Identity Module with a pin. You are free to disable the pin, that's your
problem.

 Duh. You just called me stupid and then you say something like that which
is just about the most basic of the simplest thing about using a phone.

Whether it is simple or not, it is still essentially a login.

 Whether you understand it or not, the messaging you speak of above does NOT
require the user to enter a login & password to a server on the Internet.

And "enter[ing] a login & password to a server on the Internet" was not what was under discussion.

 The fact you can't comprehend that fact does not make me stupid Carlos.
 

2. To send/receive RCS or MLS you need a certain app, currently
belonging to Google. Whether this app (besides the SIM auth) requires
you login to Google or not, is something I am not interested in testing.
You go ahead, find out, and tell us.

 Jesus Christ. After all this time you wasted of ours, you now say you never
had any intention of understanding and/or helping to answer the question.

Your question has been answered in that neither RCS nor MLS are messaging SERVICES. They are protocols that messaging services can USE.
And it is the services themselves that require a login.

 

I have told you this from the start. You know this, I know this. Now
please stop playing games and calling the rest of the people stupid.

 You are the one playing the childish silly games, Carlos.
 1. The question NEVER had anything to do with the carriers' SMS/MMS
2. The question was whether RCS/MLS require Internet server login/passwd

EVERY rational messaging service requires a login of some kind.
Period.
