Yup, and they know exactly they won’t be able to deliver this in 2024 - it’ll be years before the GSMA gets its act together and implements end to end encryption in the standard, and before that happens, Apple is very unlikely going to deploy this. But I’m sure antitrust agencies around the globe will drink the kool-aid.
There’s nothing stopping Apple from implementing Universal Profile RCS tomorrow, except for their development time. There’s nothing to lobby the GSMA for, it already works.
Now the E2E encryption piece is another matter. Note that’s not committed to coming before 2024 - just standard RCS is.
