Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

    RCS with Google’s proprietary extensions

    I don’t know that that’s true. But regardless, I agree and wish they decided on a more open protocol, but that is just not the corporate way. Anything is better than SMS/MMS.

    There’s no shortage of options for doing that.

    Sure. Ask yourself why Apple users don’t use them? The answer is SMS fallback. A feature which you can use with any app on Android and literally only with iMessage on iOS.

    It’s probably even true that someone would have exploited the technique Beeper Mini was using to send spam if Apple hadn’t closed it.

    Well Apple doesn’t seem to give a single fuck about SMS spam, so I’m not sure what your point is. Google at least incorporates spam filtering.

      SMS fallback is not a common feature of internet-based messaging apps on Android. Signal used to do it, but does not now. I don’t think WhatsApp or Telegram ever did.
