FYI,
It's been the default messages app on the S23 & S22 as well as many other smartphones where English is the default or the primary/1st spoken language.
And since when does Samsung show the public on upcoming features for products apps and services yet to be completed or very close to announcement, Samsung Galaxy Ring and the original Fold was probably the first they've done that (maybe the original Note but I doubt that)
Your second link does show that Samsung Messages has a feature or more that Google messages doesn't. To me that's not an upgrade or a good reason for a company eith an outstanding ecosystem that has been the leader for any Android phone since the very beginning to simply let go. Google seems to have a very tight partnership with Samsung and likely with Gemini (ahem Samsung AI) in collaboration with Google on S24 series and OneUI6.1 - there may have been a deal (even OneUI5.1.1) to have Google Messages as default.
Note Samsung Messages is still there ans with translation on device, copy history + grammaly + live translation in Samsung Messges, with Samsung Keyboard I'm not seeing why Samsung would give up their messaging app.
As I've mentioned before with:
Private Folder vs Locker,
Dex vs Desktop Mode,
QuickShare, and as well as translation within calls & messages ... it seems Samsung IS focusing on their wares and not reinventing the wheel, yet Google seems to be copying (in what's mentioned or collaborating and implementing) what Samsung has brought forth.
Conversations abound seem to just be conjecture, for now, simply cause a default.
FYI it's the EU pushing Apple for RCS interoperability within their Messages, but the bubble colour game will still persist - that game is older than some 3rd graders 😆 are. But that's another discussion.
