RCS on Verizon

[Rukbat]

But remember, RCS is still carrier-centric. You can't do RCS with the Verizon app to someone on TMO, for example. Not yet. (I lost a lot of business when MMS was in that situation, back around 2004.)

Yes, we know. The US carriers are working together to fix that problem. I don't think they want a repeat of the MMS debacle. It hurt them more than people realize.

What about the stock messages app (Samsung Messages) being RCS capable?

Edit: I found this thread.

Yes, it is RCS capable, but it relies on the carriers' RCS systems. The US carriers are rolling out RCS by the end of 2020.
