I would say both, and a bit more besides. I would say that the big players are actively disincentivized from supporting something like this.

Did it fail on its own or was it helped that way? I can’t imagine any of the big players that drive a lot of the standardisation would be too keen on this ...

No you're out of date, the standard contract clauses thing was blown out of the water. It's a big problem for Facebook, not sure where it's at now. Also your understanding of the Apple case is a little out of whack too. There

I do personally believe that for all its faults WhatsApp is the best. It’s a pity about that but I guess FB have to pay all those great developers somehow. It’s up to regulation to set the boundaries for what’s acceptable in business so let
