This makes sense more than the EU. The EU is such a bit player in Apple's bottom line but China is where Apple makes most of its money.
Adding support to the Messages app is a minor issue for Apple really. They already support SMS which is less secure and less useful so adding RCS to appease its largest income makes sense.
If I was Apple, I’d still show those messages as green. People think it’s to highlight who the Android users are but it’s literally to reveal those who are using SMS. I’d still leave non-iMessage users as green to highlight they are on a different platform. You’d just see more people in the chat than you otherwise would.
If someone gets all hooey about the colour bubbles without understanding the real reason behind why those exist then that should be on them, not Apple.
