npub1carpg73ekh6qlv80pwvwxjmxsxfdw7n37wuns8acsalxcnazqa7sryg4j0 (npub1car…g4j0) to be fair that is still speculation. Even WahtsApp has also been wanting to monetise their product and they could not insert ads into E2EE chats (as far as I know).
But yes it certainly needs something wider than just Google servers if it is to replace SMS. SMS has no single server running somewhere - it is a (old) standard running between various operators.
Neither Apple, nor Google, WhatsApp, etc are going to be around forever. A global service can't depend on one company.
