It would have been encrypted by now (at least for hangout to hangout chats) had it hung around.

And at least it was cross platform but overall I agree that mobile messaging should be standardized and open. So while the Google messaging strategy has been an abject failure overall, they did eventually trip over themselves and stumble onto the right path.

Google's implementation of RCS isn't very standardized or open. So far, I believe it's only available with Google's client and Google's servers.
