RCS will work with iMessage users in iOS 18. I've already tried out with beta users and it works fine.

That doesn't contradict anything I said.

[That] would essentially [mean] other users... would be near-zero

It contradicts your main point.

the only private and secure communications would be with other users on the same platform, which would be near-zero.

It doesn't. 3rd party RCS--> iMessage is not anymore private or secure than 3rd party RCS --> Google. All message metadata is stored on Apple's servers, just like it is on Google's.

Are you just going to ignore you ever said there would be near zero users?

You're an ass. Blocked.

I'm not ignoring anything. There will be near-zero users. I've just explained this. I'm not being an ass and you've not blocked me.
