Google still isn’t letting Play Store apps use RCS, though.
Does that mean I can use it to talk to the ISS

They have internet. So you can already email people on the ISS, if you have their email address.

I don’t see any F-Droid apps using RCS either, so it’s clearly not just because of Google’s play store limitations.

RCS is a proprietary standard. You would need to be licensed by GSMA to use it.

I thought that was just to get the Google addons like encryption? Is the whole protocol proprietary?
