Kinda the point now a days. Everyone wants platform lock-in.

  yeah but platform lock-in shouldn't prevent me from sending an IM from skype for MacOS to skype for Windows...

    No, it shouldn't. But, that's MS for ya! (Ducks and runs)

  This drives me so crazy. Usability has regressed because everyone wants to control everything. As far as I know it's not possible to get one app that combines Google Hangouts, iMessage, Facebook Messager, WhatsApp, etc... into one place like you could with the old messaging apps. Now you have to leave 10 things running all the time just to keep your connections.
