I feel like Apple still isn’t interested in real interoperability. Even if RCS integration solves picture/video and some basic messaging feature compatibility, that won’t be the end of it. Some other feature that gets less attention today will be the next most visible with poor compatibility.
Compatibility issues will continue if EU regulation (or the threat of it) is the only thing driving cooperation. Apple’s marketing-driven platform lock-in is incompatible with platform-agnostic cooperation that society wants, and only they can change that.
