I was shocked about Apple supporting RCS until I saw the little addendum about it not supporting any of the extensions Google put on top of the spec. The fact that Google didn't get the GSMA to adopt E2EE, read receipts, message reactions, etc is a pretty massive blunder.

It's obvious why Apple would be willing to adopt it. They can still make it a far worse experience without having the potential legal issues in the EU. So, Apple is adding the ability to add higher quality media. That's it. Yay.
