So once you have an app up and running, with millions of satisfied users you would hire another team of more expensive developers to build a native app.. for each platform? so make that 2 more teams or rather 4 more teams? (iOS, Mac, Android, Windows)

They're a $24 billion company. Hiring 4 small teams probably shouldnt be too much for them.

  ...and one PM to manage all 4 teams and ensure that there is no feature-drift between the various OS-target versions. </sarc> I am really just trying to emphasize that there are tradeoffs lurking everywhere and they are often hidden by assumptions.

    Telegram already does this with a rather small team. Hell, there are even third-party Telegram clients that, while a bit behind the features, eventually catch up with every single one.

  You don't get to be a billion dollar company by spending money unnecessarily. The question is never the total size of the company the cost relative to other options.
