Probably because the article in no way has a tone of “hail apple” and instead is just informative about who can use RCS on which carriers on iPhones. It even says

Previously, iPhone users were left out of the RCS party,

So it’s not denying the fact that Apple didn’t previously support RCS. As pointed out in an above comment, you can only use RCS on Android through Google’s messages app, so it’s not like Android has been some bastion of open standards here, each corporation is driven by profit.
