Apple relies too much on lock-in effect to actually offer that - instead of taking $5/month and having to develop and maintain such interoperability they'd really prefer you just get on their platform instead.
They sell hardware, everything they make is there to want you to purchase the next version of it.
Their lockin game is on point. I was reading an article about how kids bully other kids who are not using apple products because their icons are another color.
I think ideally we should all use something that's open source, e2e encrypted, and platform agnostic, but you are not going to get either Apple or Google on board with that since you can't really make money off it.
