Never understood why iOS/macOS users install so many Google apps (lemmy.ml)

Google products work on pretty much every platform, whereas with Apple you're out of luck if you use any non-Apple platforms.

Apple Music is on Android and Windows.

Apple TV is one a wide range of devices.

AirPlay is on a wide range of TVs, and Roku boxes.

iCloud is on Windows. Files, photos, contacts, etc. They just added Passwords.

So out of luck isn’t exactly true. Unless you are a die hard Pages user or something. And there you have a web app.

Nice cherry picked examples. iMessage isn't available on other platforms, and it's impossible to join a shared iphotos album from a non apple device. Two features that are arguably the most important for non apple users.

I wasn’t cherry picking. The assertion was nothing was available on other platforms.

And my pushback didn’t say everything was.
