tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo’s) successor, google chat.

Me, an Inbox by Gmail fan: first time?
Better start preparing…
My personal theory is that because the turnover rate is so absurdly high at Google, every 5 or so years they don’t have anyone remaining that knows the code for their chat app, and it’s easier to just rewrite a new one from scratch.
