I, for one, have a bigger problem with it forcing the use of phone numbers as a sign-in method. They're an arbitrary identifier from a legacy system that there's not really a point in continuing to extend, because if your device is capable of anything more advanced than SMS it's also capable of... well, this.
Also KaiOS and the like are making chat feasible even on feature phones.
Don't get me wrong, RCS will be a fine enough fallback (once it's E2E), but standardized chat is the dream.
