To be clear, this is not an “attitude” or my personal view. This is just the reality of the situation. It takes years to develop comparable tech that allows apps to work across platforms. This is the same reason that Windows is prioritized over macOS, and macOS over Linux. It is just the realities of development and targeting the largest user bases.
Sure. But unless our collective priorities fall from the sky, then this situation must ultimately be the "attitude" of someone or something, right? You describe it in neutral terms as if it we were talking about the weather or something. That is what irritates me. After all, this creeping erosion of software freedom also happens to be in the interests of the FAANG company you work for. Yes, it's "reality", it's a very convenient reality.
