- benj111 4y agoI don't disagree that that's the status at the moment. But the nature of these things is X gains traction. Y wants a piece of X's pie so cuts X off. X realises that it's dependent on the Ys and so launches its own service. We've seen the this with Netflix. We've seen the former with Twitter. Ideally the stars would align so that it's in everyone's interests to support an open protocol and we kind of have those in SMS and email. Except these have their own issues.
