> They claim to be a services company but they still can't seem to let go of tying it to devices. They've shipped apple music on Andriod since day 1, have had it on Sonos for several years, and in the last 6 months have announced & started to ship TV on tons of actual TVs and non-apple straming boxes. They've 'let go' of tying services to devices, but iMessage isn't a paid service so the advantage to shipping it on other platforms is lower.

I'm not sure I'd hold that up as an example of them being open. > started to ship TV on tons of actual TVs and non-apple straming boxes. Literally hasn't been released and isn't scheduled to be until "Fall of 2019". >They've 'let go' of tying services to devices, but iMessage isn't a paid service so the advantage to shipping it on other platforms is lower. Right, so charge for Messenger on other platforms. Nobody asked them to give it away.
