RCS is not compatible with all androids, the only manufacturer I can think of that opened their builtin messaging system to everyone was BlackBerry after much request. Their system became just another messaging app since the pins were no longer tied to the Blackberry user. In either event how did apple refuse anything? Other manufacturer’s just never bothered to seriously implement anything similar. Besides what do you consider an absurd amount of money? Because an iPhone SE 2022 is often $150 in the US for prepaid (no contract) service and gets you into their ecosystem with pretty powerful hardware.

RCS is compatible with (virtually) every android phone. Why would you think otherwise?
