If you're using MacOS as your desktop, you don't need Pushbullet, because iMessage can remote control your iPhone for sending and receiving SMS messages. You can also make and receive phone calls via Facetime too.
Add to that things like universal copy/paste or the ability to quickly resume some activity from your phone, like opening the active web page, or the usually seamless mirroring of your screen via Airplay, etc.
It does lock you into Apple's ecosystem but the experience is much better than Pushbullet, or anything else.
Yes I did use Pushbullet when I was an Android user. I was one of their first users. I don't miss it.
I stopped using Pushbullet even before I moved to iPhone b/c it's a potential privacy leak and security problem. It's bad enough that we have to trust the phone maker, with something like Pushbullet you give all control of your phone to a third party. Yes they claim the ability to do e2e encryption, but talk is cheap and I've never heard of an independent audit.
