Is it not proprietary due to carriers being extremely fussy?
Comment on Apple finally adds support for RCS in latest iOS 18 beta | TechCrunch
narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 5 days agoFunny how many people wanted RCS on iOS in order to be compatible with Android, while large parts of Google’s implementation of RCS in Android is proprietary as well.

While Google should open source it, it’s important to note that Google never actually wanted to run or implement RCS. It was supposed to be the carriers, but they never did and even Google spent years pushing them to get off their ass and they still didn’t. It was years before Google finally went “Fine, I’ll just fucking do it myself”
