Data usage is not free and also controlled by carriers.

sure, but you can send imessages free over wifi. I doubt you can do the same with RCS. come to think of it, that's the only reason why carriers would even agree to implement this in the first place: they get to charge users for data that they would have otherwise transferred on wifi.
