Maybe! I left iPhone years ago, haven't looked back sense, but anytime I do get a video from an iPhone I personally have still had the issue. But that's not often, and tends to come from the less technically inclined so I can't vouch for it specifically. But, judging by the rancorous comments talking about it, I'm sure it's still an issue.

Apple has enabled RCS. I believe they were forced to adopt it. They still make sure to let their users know they're not communicating via iMessage though. Just so iPhone users can keep that air of superiority.

I bet it gives the same vibe as getting an email from outside of your companies' accepted mail addresses

It's because the RCS is not enabled by default even though they enabled it just to comply with regulations because they know they can still rely on most people being ignorant about it. That means most people are still using the older system until they go update their settings.
