why are people so opposed to interoperability?

i see people on reddit and twitter wishing for a single app they can use to contact all their whatsapp , facebook, telegram contacts not knowing thats what we had growing up with GAIM/Pidgin, Trillian etc. I use to use one app to message people on 5+ different networks.

Because much like with everything Apple, having the exclusiveness makes it more desirable.

Apple drones use their phones as status symbols
Ya'll accept this with Watches,
Cop some plastic shyt with stop clocks and a calculator app and you'll get clowned by people. rather get a more expensive watch made of platinum that you can hardly even tell time on.

Yet those same people seem to reverse course when it comes to phones. Pass on the apple phone made of glass and aluminum, for some plastic shyt, that has more features. and suddenly want people to care more about functionality than style.

I don't care for watches

I rock a Garmin Fenix 6 Solar

Probably won't get another watch until the Fenix 8 drops

Pidgin was SOOO underrated for its time.

I don't care about iMessage and I only read half of the article and already know I will never use this. It's being hosted on a server that you have to give your iCloud info to. :dead:
