It's also noteworthy that the RCS platform adopted by companies worldwide is run by Jibe, a company owned by Google. Doubtless, Apple doesn't want to use Google's servers any more than it needs to.

"open protocol" my ass. Google just wants control over everything.

It seems like all efforts to "bridge" imessage to anything outside apple software work this way - there's a Matrix bridge and a dedicated open source app and they both rely on the imessage client on a mac. Is there a legitimate reason for it not being reverse-engineered yet?

It is community-run and works around ubuntu's questionable commercial moves (not including snap and maintaining their own debs for Firefox and Chromium) while developing their own software that I believe are generally more user-friendly than their equivalents in Ubuntu and other distros (the cinnamon desktop, the software manager and the updater, the welcome panel, system reports...)
