RCS is an upgrade on SMS. The whole point of rooting is to circumvent restrictions, so wait for someone to stop shit talking modern protocols and figure out how to get it working. The idea that rooting was about making things easier was always a myth. It was never that.
iOS goes a step above, iMessage fails to have bare minimum of a modern messaging service, that being multiplatform support, instead it falls back to SMS or RCS, at least Google Messages is only SMS and RCS, as much as I hate Meta, their offering is literally more usable and better in any pratical way, Whatsapp works with very old rooted android phones, is multiplatform and can be installed directly from the website by just downloading the APK file, in regards to privacy concerns all of the 3 above are spyware. The only thing good that iMessage has, is that techinicly you don’t need a phone number to use it.
RCS would only be an upgrade if it was possible to use with an open client and federated. As-is there are only 2 proprietary apps and 1 server, as far as I can tell. It’s basically Google’s version of WhatsApp.
The enshittification continues unabated.
This is actually an improvement.
Better to give an error message, than to silently fail.
Yes, but blocking RCS from rooted devices has always been a control move. I’ve had to deal with it for the last year plus since I root to hide tether.
They’re both enshittification, telling you why is an extra “fuck you” on top of something that shouldn’t happen in the first place.
It is better than silent failure

You can absolutely make a modern protocol
Good luck convincing anyone to use it or implement it
Most users don’t change defaults. It’s the default in both Android and iOS.
