This sounds like a problem exclusive to the United States. In Canada all of our carriers still provide RCS. Rogers was one of the first major telcoms to implement RCS country-wide for Androids prior to the major rollout elsewhere.
Additionally, RCS is a generally open standard that can be adopted by anyone and implemented by any carrier. Google only runs their RCS back-end when carriers are unwilling or unable to do so, like in other regions worldwide. RCS is interoperable and even if it’s a system being used by Google, it’s an open standard. Apple were the ones not allowing the interoperability here, and causing the centralization.

I think that in France it’s the same problem. But that hard to find informations about it.
I don’t see why you say that. Can you explain?
