Honestly, Apple is getting gifts and gifts from all sides (though with the huge blunder that has been *OS 26), Google doesn't know how to make ecosystems and has never known to do so. Android is great as a single device, but the whole integration, even with their own devices is horrible (Near Share, setting their 'Find My' ecosystem as opt-in instead of opt-out...).

It's another example of EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish), as they finally succeeded with Chrome. And there is likely quite a lot of political interference.

And no, it has nothing to do with the lack of vertical integration. Microsoft, despite all the millions of issues with the platform, has succeeded in making an ecosystem on the enterprise side despite having very little to say in the PC hardware.


Most countries will throw you in jail for years if you refuse to give the password to encrypted devices they want. [1]

I made this script in Python that allows to push Cloudflare DNS records from (most, no support for logical rules yet) your Traefik Host rules.

I'd be very happy to receive any feedback about this and envision that the script would grow more modular regarding DNS APIs and not stay bound to Cloudflare.
