Heck, when my Android smartphone broke and I shifted to IOs , I lost my apps, books, and games. Now I didn't have much and if I bought another Android phone, I'd get them back, but its no big deal, really. The stuff is not GOLD, after all. Its easily replaceable .
I guess too maybe the youngsters forget that proprietatry formats have been part of consumer electronics since day one. I've got a hundred albums on cassette tape that never sees the light of day anymore, now that everything has gone digital.
In any case, consumers are clearly going for the ease , convenience and QUALITY of Ios ecosystem over Android. You arguments have merit-for techies who have no problem buying stuff from various places, using and learning different software programs, guarding against malware, remembering various passwords, etc. Average consumer doesnt want to be bothered.
