Google needs to explain to iPhone users how RCS is so much better than what we've had the last ten years and why we should support it when Google up and abandoned Hangouts, YouTube Originals, Currents, OnHub, BackupandSync/Drive (still functional, but not anything close to competition), Play Music, Nest Secure, STADIA, FiberTV (I signed up for it, was canceled 3 months after sign up, thanks), Works With Nest API (was great for IFTTT), Trips (Was actually easy to use), Allo, URL shortener, Chromecast Audio (rendered my friend's stereo useless for wireless until he got an iPhone), Google Glass (was supposed to be a revolutionary product, was a dud), Spaces, NEXUS (replaced by somewhat better thought out Pixel), Noop (nope!), Sparrow (couldn't handle competition), Desktop (solved Windows XP's inferiority to Mac OS 10.4), etc.
Google treats new projects like that guy who has a girlfriend for about a year before moving on to the next victim. The first few months are all lovey dovey! "She's amazing, the greatest, other competing phone makers want her! She's a moonshot!"
Then it's "She's great, can't live without her! We're working really hard for a long term thing!"
Then it's This update fixes bugs and improves efficiency - 10/12/2014
Then it's "We have decided to shut down <Insert Moonshot #1,124, 239, 048> due to fluctuating priorities. Final support ends on 09/24/2016. Thank you to all our users who barely made it 2 years with our product/service/"moonshot"! We'll dupe you again in about six months with another "half-moonshot half thought through and half-assed that we will dump into the Pixel 8 Plus Pro Max!"
Most iPhone users think: "iMessage works fine, why does Apple have to fix Google's issue?"
