Apple is already adopting RCS. There’s no benefit here other than to spammers looking for a backdoor into iMessage.

You seem confident about “no benefit here”. Are you sure about that or is that the flavor of the boot polish that you are tasting?
Also, “backdoor into iMessage”, wtf?

Proprietary, closed source, third-party software that hasn’t been audited by a third party, that’s hooking into another proprietary protocol without the owner of said protocol’s approval.
Sounds to me like Apple fixed a security vulnerability they were exploiting to gain access to the platform. Honestly it reminds me of Microsoft and AOL with the AIM and MSN Messenger wars. I believe AIM used a buffer overflow on purpose for authentication, despite it being a serious security vulnerability.
