Google is silently blocking RCS messages on rooted Android phones and custom ROMs

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The hostility towards custom ROM in general, is what forced me to root. Initially I used LineageOs without root. However, that got me in to issues with various apps, due to not passing safety net. So now I use magisk to hide that I use a custom ROM. So, they basically forced me to root.
I stopped using LineageOs due to their stance towards rooting and weak arguments behind it.
