That’s actually a pretty accurate explanation of currently what’s happening, but it’s much better than before as macOS/Linux support is also coming too.

I’m not the person who hates programs that aren’t open source or “free”, so for me just being able to tell my friends to use macOS or Linux is a pretty great progression.
- Freak_NL 7y agoI'm not as much bothered by the software being non-free, rather making the ownership of either an Android or IOS smartphone a requirement for digital citizenship too solve the 2FA puzzle is something that worries me. We're moving in that direction in the Netherlands with our national citizen's accounts (DigiD: mandatory if you want to file taxes, gain access to your health care records, or handle your insurance digitally).
