also I think RCS is way to insecure for Graphene OS - they have no way of making sure the communication is actually 100% secure.
In my experience, Graphene OS doesn't make compromises.

RCS is way more secure than SMS what are you talking about? RCS+MLS (i.e. GSM standard RCS E2EE) is basically as secure as you can get unless you lock all users involved into a specific app (ex: signal, etc)
Why would they support SMS then?
SMS is a defacto carrier tech that people expect to work, people also don't expect e2ee or any kind of privacy scheme on SMS but it might be a place to hand communication off to a different tech. Whereas RCS leaks meta data to the goog or worse (I don't know the ins and outs of RCS) but by default I would trust it less then signal, who may also collect meta data leaked through the goog, so I guess the real solution is to be boring and assume there is no security or privacy for anyone of reasonable means.
The world unfortunately uses SMS for 2FA.
