My guess is it’s because they saw what was happening with USB C and figured eventually they’d have to do the same with RCS. Given the amount of spamming problems Google has had with RCS recently, I hope I can just turn it off in iMessage. I really don’t need yet another fucking avenue for ads in my life.
