That's the whole point, really. A lot of people, myself included, believe that Google's complete lack of support for Windows Phone is to limit the choices users have and force them in to the Android ecosystem rather than the WP ecosystem. I don't believe their stance will ever change, but we'll have to wait a few years for WP market penetration to top iOS.
Its up to you what you believe.
And no it's not. It's like Apple coming out and saying "Yeah, we don't really want to support Android at this time but we're constantly looking at the situation and, if it changes, we'll see about making iCloud available on Android."
Yeah it is the same. Apple doesn't support iCloud on Android and Google doesn't support youtube on WP. If you want icloud at the moment buy an iPhone if you want official youtube support buy an iphone or android phone.
You buy what works at the moment, not what you think might, perhaps work in the future.
At this point, you simply KNOW Apple isn't going to support shit on Android. Or WP. You know. With Google's current stance (which I don't buy but several others do) is that they "might" support WP "eventually".
I'm calling shens.
So now youre saying its the same , that Apple doesn't Android and wont in the future and that Google doesn't support WP and won't in the future.
And, BTW, I don't really have a dog in the fight at this point. I'm an iOS user whom has almost purged all things Google out anyways (saying goodbye to All Access Music today) and when I do switch to Windows Phone, the only thing I'll think I'll miss is a chromecast option on the YouTube app. But I'm pretty close to eliminating the ChromeCast anyways.
Thats fine. Personally if I was a user of something I'd buy the device that supported my usage pattern rather than changing my usage habits to suit the device but its your money and your choice.
