I didn't know that Google built encryption on top of the standard, I thought it was part of it.

Besides that though, Google would be making the dumbest business move if they didn't let Apple's potential RCS implementation talk to theirs.

Besides that, the point that RCS is still an open standard stands and should replace SMS just because of how archaic and old it is. Heck, there's still a character limit.
