IMHO, they’re getting ahead of the regulators before it gets imposed on them without contributing to the standard.

A hard cutover to present day RCS would be a giant pain in the butt and a potential experience downgrade for Macs and iPads.

Google basically controls the encryption protocol for it, and RCS still requires clients to be mapped to a phone number.
