Carriers are migrating to RCS to replace SMS/MMS since that protocol no longer supports modern messaging needs. Now, Apple was refusing to update their fallback to use RCS. The motivation for why they were dragging their feet can be plainly seen in this quote from a similar conversation around messaging from Apple’s Craig Federighi re: bringing iMessage to Android where he said


Carriers are dragging their feet far more than Apple. CCMI was a complete and utter failure. SMS/MMS isn't going away any time soon.

RCS for all purposes in the US is Google's iMessage. The carriers just don't care enough to really follow through with anything, maybe when Apple follows through with their own version of it, they will get back to figuring out WTF they are going to do. T-Mobile even just gave up and said let Google deal with it. It makes them no money like SMS/MMS. There isn't a texting plan to go with it, it's all data. They just don't care about it due to that.

Apple is going to use the RCS Universal Profile not Google's Jibe. I believe they've also indicated they are going to work with GSMA to add encryption to the Universal Profile.
