And yet on Android Google hasn't opened an API for any other app to use RCS, so users are forced to use the Google Messages app. It's really irritating the hypocrisy.

Came to say this. It's fucked up.

And as a grapheme user, I can't even use the Google Messages app for RCS. Which is even more crazy. It's truly: give us complete control or else

You frustration is born of a similar issue to mine. I'm running stock Android but rooted and I have to use two Magisk modules to obtain the ability to use RCS. However about once a month Google does something to break the ability to use RCS and I have to disable it for a day or two while the maintainers figure out a way around it.
