I don't really understand RCS. It's supposed to be an open standard but unfortunately it's only available in 1 of 2 Android apps, which are controlled by Samsung or Google. Personally, I don't have a Google or Samsung account, and these don't work without them.

They could have just used the actually open standard they already used 10 years ago (XMPP) but for some reason they've found some other one that doesn't appear to be very open.
