I still don't get what's so great about RCS over SMS/MMS? There's E2EE but that won't be in this implementation apparently.
A variety of small but useful features. Typing indicator, reactions, read receipts, and larger media limits. I'm sure there's more, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
SMS has read receipts too. I'm not sure I care about any of the others.
The best that the SMS protocol can tell you is whether the message was delivered and even that isn't a requirement. SMS has delivery receipts, it does not have read receipts.
