There is still a lot of dissatisfaction with mobile, and plenty of room for improvement. The leaders want you to marry their platform at the expense of services offered by competitors. A newcomer might make inroads just by making it easy to use various competing services out of the box.

I don't want to be in anybody's walled garden exclusively, I want more interoperability and platform independence. Even Google has plenty of room for improvement.
