Maybe if I'm lucky they'll briefly remember they have a website for sending messages and they'll finally update it so you can react with more than seVEN EMOJIS! It's been YEARS!!!

Do people even use it? As soon as I say that Google owned this I got rid of it while debloating someone else's phone

Many people use it. Regular android users have it enabled in their "Messages" app. But most rooted devices likely does not use RCS.

I guess it's similar to how people use iMessage because it's the pre-installed messaging app. Both fall back to of SMS/MMS if the other party isn't using the same closed ecosystem. I.e. Google's proprietary end-to-end encryption or iMessage.
