thats ur opinion really
on one side u say,u are a google person and use their services then u compare Apple and Microsoft,everybody already knows ur preference and u show bias
overtime all these different services will go their own way
the only reason MICROSOFT and GOOGLE put their services onto other devices is because they donot have that much dominance
Microsoft is absolutely pathetic on the ecosystem front as they don't have anything in their stores still,they are forced to make things available on other platform as they have been disaster after disaster for the last couple of year on all front and especially on the mobile front
And Google,you know what it is.Doesn't really do anything as a company but experiments and launches it as BETA Products to fool people and close them when they bomb and say its just an experiments and where do you find that you are able to download GOOGLE PLAY STORE things on iOS or Windows Phone devices that you can't on iTunes or Windows Store.
Google main objective was to be the BIG DADDY on net but that went nowhere as Hardware companies didn't let them get away with it.They knew if Google wanted,they wud dictate terms to suite their own monopoly and they had to protect their own Brands
Android today is more of a SAMSUNG thing than anything else.Hell,even GOOGLE is 2nd to SAMSUNG in the whole Android sphere.
if SAMSUNG leaves,Android is done for.Not that its not already disbanding in many ways because of its UN-Standardadised platform and monoply by Google and Samsung dissuading other companies and SAMSUNG is already ready with their TIZEN or BADA whatever OS to compete with iOS
iOS is the only platform which has longterm stability and future at the moment because of the long term vision it was crafted with and how it has been handled.But nobody knows what APPLE will do now.They have already been fucking up since Steve Job's demise and killing their own brand
Windows and Microsoft is another but that needs alot more refinement and revolution before it can even think of competing but Microsoft keeping it their own and not inviting Google like free OS stuff thing has definetly helped
