Yes, there are likely to be contract terms requiring anything with a connection to support RCS.

This will be driven by carriers turning off legacy SMS and MMS servers the same way they turned off 2G GSM.

MMS was already discontinued a few years ago. SMS still has some relevancy for business.

It was? Or do you mean specifically 2G-transported MMS messages? I have flip-phone-using family that still MMS me pictures.
