The problem is the walled garden, both ecosystems have those features but they don’t work together. If all your friends have iPhones, there’s a lot of pressure to also have an iPhone. And once you’re in, you’re not likely getting out unless all your social circle does at once. That kind of lock in is extremely valuable.

I have an android and use Textra as my messaging app. I can see iPhone reactions and also react to messages agnostic of the other phone's OS
