And more than a couple operating systems. We get a lot of horrifyingly bad compatibility issues from Apple, and to a lesser degree, Google.

Unfortunately some things will IMO always remain a natural monopoly. For example good luck trying to convince developers to write their apps for all those different operating systems.

They could still be compatible, though. it's possible even today, to some degree

Most of those apps could be replaced by a website that will work anywhere. But a website can't spy on you as easily.... so they push apps instead.
