People are stupid and stubborn.
Google products work on pretty much every platform, whereas with Apple you’re out of luck if you use any non-Apple platforms.
Apple Music is on Android and Windows.
Apple TV is one a wide range of devices.
AirPlay is on a wide range of TVs, and Roku boxes.
iCloud is on Windows. Files, photos, contacts, etc. They just added Passwords.
So out of luck isn’t exactly true. Unless you are a die hard Pages user or something. And there you have a web app.
@paraphrand @that_leaflet @apple_enthusiast you can use Apple Music in the browser just so you know.
Often times it’s because other people are using it. Those people can’t use iCloud but I can use Google Docs and stuff. Hell, my MacBook can hang with my phone but my own PC isn’t connected, either. And then after that, are you really gunna expect most people to use and manage two different systems?
I use iCloud for photos, Safari on my phone and laptop because they’re connected easily that way, and have a few important documents on iCloud as well like all my stuff for job applications or sheet music so that I have access if I need that stuff elsewhere. And yet I still have Google drive for some things and use Google Sheets because it’s easy to share.
Not understanding why someone might not go all-in on a specific brand is more of a lack of imagination on your part than some failing on theirs.
Because until recently (last few years) Apple’s online (website based) game for things like iCloud Photos was weak as hell.
Gmail app because it is better with Gmail than mail.app
And google calendar because our house runs on our shared calendars.
But none of the others as Safari is fine for any other web stuff. And in try to avoid other crap as much as possible.
And now that Passwords does MFA there’s no reason for Authenticator
