Yeah, I don't know what the Google/Jibe/carrier relationships are, but Google made an exception for Samsung[1], which I suppose could've been carrier approved too. Looking more at it, it seems like Google Messages is still the RCS client, and it's exposing messages to Samsung's app.
Honestly, it's kind of hard to blame Signal and/or Google if carriers are involved here. I mostly use Signal and Element, so if those two had a single client, that'd be fine. But, I think Signal probably still favors a centralized system, and they have added ongoing call transfers from and to mobile/desktop, and now Stories and the money transfer (not a fan), so I suppose it's up to the users to choose.
