WhatsApp has video group calling very soon too.
But Facetime is at minimum an Apple account/id thing the same as Google Meet (which is great btw) is for Google accounts.
So I don't see how Facetime really solves something in that area even when it would work for Android and Windows PCs.
Side note: actually the algorithms used in Google Duo and Meet are better for low bandwidth (which you have in many areas of the world) than Facetime ever was.
