Was curious if there were FOSS solutions since I really would like to avoid using anything Google related

That’s like… both iPhone and Android are vender-locked.

No, Apple can begin supporting RCS and play nice with other phones (not just Android) using a modern, encrypted, and open messaging platform. But they choose to fall back to SMS intentionally in order to market their devices as superior.
