And maybe more importantly, which side of the group chat is to blame?

Basically, SMS is shit. SMS existed when we were still attempting to type on flip phones. It wasn’t made with high amount of data in mind (like HD photos or videos)
But SMS is also an open standard. Anyone can do SMS, so that means it’s a common language for Apple and Android.
Apple, being Apple, decided to make something better by doing their own proprietary thing. That’s iMessage.
Everyone else also knew SMS was outdated, so they made a new standard called RCS. They (especially Google) asked Apple to also support RCS.
~~Apple told them to eat shit.~~ Apple decided to not support it.
So communication between Apple and Android is still SMS
