RCS is practically limited to android ecosystem. Many of the carriers are dependent on Google Jibe to support it.

No one except Google and approved manufacturers can make a RCS app.

It's limited to Android because this is the only alternative to iPhone and iPhone doesn't support it.

Many carriers rely on Google Jibe but not all of them, and they don't have to.

That's true and I agree that this also stupid. We should all go back to emails with pgp encryption. These are both open standards.
