Yes. Global company creates marketing campaign to call out other global company in which they clearly present ALL of the facts and don't gloss over any of the problems or faults of their own. Good job Google. Mission accomplished.

Quantity isn't more important that quality and homekit covers largely everything people actually want. That's like saying the Nintendo e-shop is the best because it has so many games while ignoring that most of them are complete dogshit.

Google will probably abandon home like they have with so many other products and Amazon already wishes they didn't have Alexa because it hasn't netted them anywhere close to the return they hoped for as it relates to purchases from their website.

It's pretty obvious that nuance and context aren't very important to you so there's not much point in continuing beyond this point.

> It’s not even about believing, its the truth. Google started a whole campaign calling out apple for not helping to create a standard or utilize rcs.

Well yeah, Google likes to spread propaganda that trashes their competitors, and you fell for their marketing campaign. The basic fact is Apple passing messages through Google's servers would make Apple user data far less secure. And Apple makes most of its money selling high priced products, where Google makes most of their money selling your data. It makes no sense for Apple to betray their user base like that, when privacy is one of their main selling points.
