Normal people don’t care about open standards. They only care about outcomes.

I know people who have wondered why texting to/from Android phones “doesn’t work” since pictures/video look terrible. This is a problem for their customers.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they would’ve done this without regulatory pressure, just perhaps not as soon.
