No doubt they are there, but they are there by chance/habit (I think) not because the platform serves them well.

TikTok has all sorts of time limits and you can't even upload professionally shot content lasting more than x seconds. It's an app which revolves around the smartphone environment. That's very limiting

Instagram allows for much more flexibility.

You see a limit, but the millions of users see a really easy way to share videos :-)
