What is this about?
The main RCS benefit is sharing videos between Apple and Android that don't look like potatoes. Can't imagine what is being shadily blocked there.
Try using a custom ROM on Android and you'll quickly see.
As much as they like to pretend RCS is an open standard, it's really not. In practice, it's a proprietary protocol to Google Messages. Which the other commenter mentioning custom roms, Google recently blocked platforms that they dont approve of from using RCS.
