No, RCS is 'built for' a cheap and thinly vieled attempt for carriers to retain some control over messaging. Oh, and for mass surveillance purposes.
It's not a coincidence that RCS still requires carrier hardware and coordination, despite being an IP messaging protocol. It's also not a coincidence that the protocol did not feature E2EE, despite even student project protocols providing that.
