my theory is that if rcs keeps advancing we might see "texting" kind of merge with email at some point.

at this point RCS and email are pretty similar on paper.

RCS is incredibly centralized. More than half of the phone carriers decided it was too complicated to run their own RCS servers and so just sub-contract them to a Google subsidiary (Jibe).

		To be fair that seems to be the path email is going down. Most businesses don't want run their own email and just use one of two big providers.
