That's fair! I guess a side-effect of being locked up in one ecosystem is that you only rarely notice what's happening in others. I feel like that only furthers my original point though. I didn't want to argue that Apple does

Full disclosure: I'm very locked in the Apple ecosystem. They do play amazingly well with one another, but I feel like that's not at all their main selling point. You can appreciate the longevity and continued support of an iPhone
