Never looked into it, what's so bad about RCS besides it being proprietary? Way better than SMS in my experience.

Everything is better than SMS.
And everything except SMS is better than RCS.

Let me use a fucking messaging app, I'll just need any internet connection and it will works and it get constantly updated.

RCS is just SMS2

Then everyone needs to download and make an account on said app, they already exist and none are unanimous.

Everyone has a phone number that gets used for auth and other things. If that system doesn't change then RCS is way better.
