What you want is for everyone to support whatever messaging protocol Google is pushing today. There have been a lot over the years and it seems like RCS won’t be the last (it has its flaws — serious, fatal ones, IMO).

Not to mention the nine year gap since they killed off support for an actual standard in all their products (XMPP).

Nearly a decade and a dozen failed messaging products later, now they are shaming others for not being interoperable with their preferred spec?
