That’s an interesting point. I have Google voice but I honestly don’t use it much. Are you a big Google voice user?

Until Google supports RCS on Google voice, I can’t take their requests seriously.

Yes. But it has “forgotten by Google” energy. It wouldn’t shock me if it joins the Google graveyard.

RCS is too little, too late. Its encryption is problematic, and people currently using it can tell you how inconsistent it is. It’s what you get when industry players want to control things.
Why build RCS when everyone could use an existing, extensible protocol like XMPP? Yes, XMPP isn’t perfect, but had the RCS consortium started there, then agreed to support specific features, we’d have a much better solution today.
iMessage works.
