I don’t think that works, since why would people want yet another chat app to deal with. I tried several but usually gave them up because iMessage does what I need it to and I don’t want to check many

Having everyone support RCS, as an update from SMS, gives that interoperability, along with improving the SMS experience

I was a huge fan of what Pigeon tried to do, but I’m Apple-centric these days and have no idea what the state of that is
