Just another example of Zawinski's law, no?

> Zawinski's Law captures common market pressure on software solutions, stating that “every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.”

The modern version would seem to be every platform expands until it includes instant messaging.

I believe that's outdated already, the next...uh, expansion layer would be some sort of generative AI features.

In other words, every other platform expands until it can summarize emails.

IM is just fancy email.
