This is simply wrong.

No, this is correct. When you communicate with other Google users, E2EE
is default for RCS.

However Googles E2EE in RCS is a properietary solution yet. But I
assume, that Google will adopt MLS as well and hopefully this will soon
be the common standard.

What the article does not clarify is whether Android will also implement
this (Google uses its own encryption method), and so what will happen to
cross platform messages.

 
They will not because Apple will not apply a proprietary encryption
under Google's control.

You confused some things here: the question was, if *Google* will
implement MLS as well. And I don't see any reasone, why Google should
not change to MLS. MLS makes their proprietary solution obsolete.
