We tested this extensively. On Android we all have the setting to turn off read receipts. It’s broken. It does not turn off read receipts for us. Our phones run the gamut from pixel 9 pro/+ to a pixel 5. To get read receipts to go away we had to turn off RCS completely.

They’re referring to iOS devices, the Read Receipts toggle on iOS is for iMessage not RCS.
I personally left RCS off until Apple addresses this.
