It's a deliberate choice on Apple's behalf, too. iMessage could adopt RCS anytime without losing features and actually becoming more secure. Apple deliberately leaves iMessage as a terrible SMS fallback device to increase social pressure on competitors.

Obviously it's a deliberate choice, iMessage is somehow one of apple's strongest moats. Strange to me that users accept that though when their are so many great, free alternatives.
