By promising to deliver to the open standard - not more or no less - they have put the ball squarely back at Google, which runs RCS as defacto proprietor - both design & operations

AFAICT, only Samsung & some Verizon services are allowed to use their API independent of Google oversight. Now Google should be gracious to stop whacking at the bush & let others run & co-develop the standard

even for newer Samsung devices, Google Messages replaced Samsung Messages as the default messaging app.

Google doesn't own RCS though. Why would it be up to them?
