I suspect Apple Music is on Android for the benefit of Apple Music users who have multiple devices, some Apple some not, and want a music service that works across all of them.
- grishka 4y agoI use a Mac but an Android phone. I'd really like if things like AirDrop or FaceTime or other macOS/iOS integrations worked with Android the way they do with iPhones. I had to reverse engineer Google's Nearby Share protocol and build a (barebones and buggy and incomplete) file receiver for macOS to put an end to my misery of transferring things, primarily pictures, from my phone to my computer. But obviously Apple isn't interested in any of this; they'd rather tell me to just use an iPhone, since that would get me more hooked into their proprietary ecosystem.
