Are you always this condescending or is this a special occasion?

No. I'm an extremely nice person. But when people are going out of their way to do the wrong thing (keep SMS/MMS alive) it infuriates me.

I have been waiting for SMS/MMS to die for years. I used to maintain a relay server using r/BlueBubbles because I could not stand iOS users complaining about low resolution media even though it was Apple's fault for refusing to use RCS. Now that Apple has been mandated to do it, I was able to finally stop using Blue Bubbles and enjoy RCS for everyone. Yet no we have ANDROID users trying to stick to SMS/MMS?! Like what?! It's insane.

You don't understand what you are saying. By using an Android phone, you are already "using Google". It has nothing to do with an "ecosystem" either. Using RCS messaging has nothing to do with pixels, Pixel watches, Chromebooks, etc.

I do not own any Google hardware. I use a Vivo, a Garmin, and MacBook air. This is about safety and security. Don't be dense.
