At lease with Apple stepping into RCS it will get better. Having them contribute research would add more features or at lease actual End to End encryption to the GSM Universal profile. Not just Google and Google Messages.

I think initially RCS features were determined by what Server was hosting it. Google of course wanted everyone to use their profile on their servers... With a great reputation on data retention and privacy Google was of course getting Apples approval.

It's not a lack of research that hinders E2EE on the universal profile. Google only did it themselves because the standards bodies and carriers just wouldn't do it themselves.
