I wonder what they think will happen. j feel like smt is only good because its Foss. if I don't care about Foss, trackers, etc, google s product suite is much better, more feature rich.the only reason I use smt is because its Foss. I'd love to be able to use google messages, with RCS, and whatnot, but trackers and google prevent me from doing so. I feel like by doing this they're killing it
