    RCS has been around since 2010

    15 years and it’s still problematic? Sounds like something that just needs to be let go.

    Stop pushing this garbage that’s tied to hardware/sim/phone number on us. What value is that for the end user, seriously? Why would an end user today want a messenger that’s tied to a phone number?

    Fully-functional, cross-platform, network-based, open-source instant messaging has been available (even on mobile) since 2009, maybe earlier.

    What I always ask about RCS: who benefits today from a messaging system that’s hard-bound to a phone number?
