"What did the EU ever do for us?" in the monthy python mood. After usb c, apple is getting its proprietary model challenged again. When will Apple understand that in the long run it hinders innovation? And that openness and standardisation is a catalyst for it. RCS might not be the interoperable solution the EU pushes though. Anyway that's the future of not using standards : https://lemmy.nz/post/2316522

My big question is: Why does Apple need to adopt it in the first place?

Answer is: closed nature of system they created and closed (yes) nature of RCS ecosystem.

We should adopt user-friendly democratic operating systems and chat protocols instead.
