I think a big part of the issue is google just isn’t a competent company. Messaging and video calling apps are a surprisingly big deal for people and they’ve failed spectacularly to make a decent competitor to FaceTime/iMessage. Also basic things like having the camera work well for 3rd party apps, I’m sure there’s a way to do it they’ve just failed to. Honestly android would probably be much better if it was proprietary but that’s not changing, but even thing they can control they do a bad job at. I miss android but I just don’t trust google as a company
