You can turn off iMessage and you’ll be sending texts as regular SMS.

...why would you do that?

No clue, just saying you’re “allowed” to use SMS if it’s important to you. But I might have misinterpreted you!

Above commenter was saying that you're not allowed to use any other app besides the default messages app to send SMS on an iPhone, so a third party can't just come in with an SMS app that also implements RCS so everyone can be happy
