RCS is a joke and won’t catch on at all. First of all, any messages sent on that standard are completely unencrypted. And secondly, it looks like Google is pushing the standard for that exact reason - that way, the company will be able to steal even more user data. Distrust of google is what’s keeping the standard from being deployed in Europe and elsewhere.
Do you have evidence for that? Because uh ... Google can already just look at SMS messages so I don't see how RCS would be a "Google is evil" thing since it would be carrier side.
