There is a standard that is significantly better than SMS and Apple has so far chosen to stay with SMS as the only fallback.

Blame Apple that talking to anyone not on iMessage sucks.

Also, the features you mention are all extremely new to iOS, I'm not sure what you mean by "still".

Livephotos are NOT new... 2015.

But sure, Apple could (maybe should) use RCS as a fallback instead of SMS.
