And why are they adding RCS?
Because the EU is starting to regulate them so theyve stopped dragging their ass on this.

Or it's China mandating RCS to be able to acquire '5G certification':

If you think that Apple supporting RCS has to do with the tech and not with regulatory pressure, I have a bridge in Arizona to sell you.
