Which platform doesn&#x27;t? Have Microsoft or Google never baked any features into Windows or Android that were provided by third-party apps at first?<p>How do people even expect consumer operating systems to evolve these days? I for one am glad that I can get these things out of the box, with first-party support.

Until some enterprising company comes along, offers to share a patent with these developers for their developments... and then sues the shit out of Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Can&#x27;t wait for that shit storm, and you can see it on the horizon. It&#x27;s calm.
