At lease with Apple stepping into RCS it will get better. Having them contribute research would add more features or at lease actual End to End encryption to the GSM Universal profile. Not just Google and Google Messages.
I think initially RCS features were determined by what Server was hosting it. Google of course wanted everyone to use their profile on their servers... With a great reputation on data retention and privacy Google was of course getting Apples approval.
Not exactly; they spent years trying to herd the carriers into doing RCS the GSM way. They only shifted to the iMessage-like strategy when the carriers couldn't get their act together. They reached a "Fine, I'll do it myself" moment, and suddenly, finally, the ball really started rolling for RCS.
