More know-nothing bollocks from the US DOJ. Just read note A. above,
Apple is already planning to support RCS, in some form.

 Apple has no plans to fully support RCS end-to-end encryption.
That's what the DOJ suit is partially about.

 

If this is true then it looks like Apple is being the petulant child
stamping their feet and saying "no, no, no..."

Wrong ...

 Only the nut cases think Apple actually cares about them or their privacy.
 

     "Apple stated it will not use any type of proprietary
      end-to-end encryption – presumably referring to Google's
      approach — but did say it would work to make end-to-end
      encryption part of the RCS standard."

 Apple does not want anyone, not even their own customers, to have the
privacy of RCS end-to-end encryption between Apple and Android users.
