Fundamentally iMessage is an internet-based service that delivers your
messages via Apple's servers which means it doesn't work most of the time
unless you have all the myriad requirements (and which is why most of the
world shuns Apple devices as only working in the richest countries).
 
RCS, on the other hand, is a carrier-based service and works everywhere the
carrier supports it (without needing the net just to do anything useful).
 
In other words, if you want it to work, don't use the Apple walled garden.
 
Worse, the article explains that Apple (again!) murdered privacy, saying:
 "Apple warns that user identifiers are exchanged for your carrier
  and their partners to authenticate your device and provide a
  connection for RCS messaging. "These identifiers could include
  but are not limited to your IMEI, IMSI, current IP address,
  and phone number. Your current IP address might also be shared
  with other RCS users," the company notes."

Nobody needs such inferior "carrier services".
iPhone user prefer iMsg with the beautiful dark blue bubbles or another
messenger service but certainly not such crap like RCS which breaks all
encryptions or even doesn't have any.

*LOL*
