> Apple customers have ample access to iMessage, after all. And as has been noted many, many times, there are many means of accessing secure cross-platform messaging.
In fairness, i am a 5+ device apple customer and i can't use it on my two primary desktops. I use Beeper to write texts on my primary computer.
Apple feels anti-me. I pay for products and unless i'm 100% into the ecosystem they fight me. Sure, they don't owe me an app on every platform i like - but they're also fighting me developing my own, too.
I discontinued using Apple products primarily due to their ecosystem-centric design philosophy. Many features appear tailored exclusively for users fully committed to Apple's ecosystem. While it's common for platforms to have exclusive features, Apple's approach feels more pronounced. In contrast, Google, for instance, offers Android-specific features, yet their services function well across various platforms, including mobile and desktop, and this compatibility extends to Apple devices as well.
Yeah. I’ve got all sorts of Apple stuff in the house. One apple ecosystem piece I adore is being able to copy paste between my Apple devices. I’d love it if that worked from my Linux workstation too. C’mon, Apple.
