Didn't stop them from bringing itunes or icloud. I've just found it weird apple hasn't had a web version at least.

How could you do a web version of iMessages without losing end-to-end encryption?

No way Apple is going to rely on outside technology stack for something which could damage its entire secure branding.

iTunes and iCloud were required for iPhones to work with Windows.

Otherwise you couldn't sync music or contacts etc. Having a Windows iMessages app isn't required for anything.
