Why does Google make Duo and Hangouts work on iOS and Android?
I'm sorry but outright making it hard for a non-significant subsection of people to buy music on your music store is just plain stupid. The only way to justify it is that losing such customers is worth it if it helps them keep their walled garden tight.
- oneplane 7y agoBecause Google makes money by harvesting data and providing paid services to as many users as possible, while Apple makes money by selling a UX. It's much harder to sell UX to every possible market segment than to have varying degrees of UX and still make money off of just that. That's why the business models between them differ (just like Microsoft differs from both of them yet again - even if there are a lot of comparable practises).
