Speculatively tying your pet peeve to a serious social problem is an old and tired framing trick. That way if people disagree with your pet peeve, you can retort with “oh, I guess you don’t care about teen suicide?”

It’s obvious and it does little to advance your cause, while trivializing the actual serious problem.

We’re not going to solve teen suicide with RCS.

Speculative tie-in? Google's claims are that Apple profits from peer pressure and bullying, I'm not sure but I would think that the people most bullied would be teens and then logically some would commit suicide because of it, I'm sure other bullying would be part of the bullying "package" if that appeases you.

It doesn't have to be RCS but Apple has made clear they don't want any interoperability, so that seems like bad faith.
