Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled

No one enables it to “give Google data”, they use it to get apps to work that use it as a dependency.
I don’t know anybody who still uses SMS/MMS to communicate.
RCS is neither.

Well yes of course, but you are still giving away your data, regardless of intention. And a privacy feature of GrapheneOS is that it redirects location data requests to the OS by default. Thats why you have to disable it in the settings if you want Google to have this data.
AFAIK it is specifically meant as a replacement for SMS and is used with regular pre-installed SMS Apps.

Nope
Only works with 3 proprietary apps, that I’m aware of. Google and Samsung Messages and iMessage.

I have no deeper knowledge of this topic, but to me it seems like Wikipedia is disagreeing.

I mean only insofar as every other chat protocol “replaces” SMS. It only works if the other party is also using it. SMS and MMS will continue to be used with a completely different transmission mechanism.
