Unfortunately, iMessage’s proprietary format is far more common than RCS in the US, so it’s unlikely anything is going to change without government action
Modern Android devices already use RCS, we just need Apple to get on board.

Though I wouldn’t say Androids get it. More like Google Messages and a very few select apps get RCS. It’s a standard protocol in theory. In practice, not so much. I think there’s like 3 total apps. You’ll probably never see a FOSS RCS app, or one that isn’t tied to a big corp. Server implentations of RCS also aren’t standard, but most use Google Jibe.

That’s exactly what I was getting at

Apple is well known for their love of open standards, of course…
