yes I know Apple isn't a Telecoms company but you need a SIM from a Telecoms company to use iMessage. RCS runs over the Internet too, yet you also need a SIM card for that. Also Telecoms companies aren't designing message protocols anymore. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

iMessage can also run over e-mail.

And RCS was designed by the GSMA which is effectively a bunch if telecommunications companies.
