At first I did agree. But then my second thought was: this calls into question some very significant and very experienced brands. To think that many, that big, are doing it wrong naturally doesn't feel right.

It makes sense though: The bigger the brand, the more they want to control their brand experience instead of being tied to /associated with another brand, i.e. the native platform.

Businesses don't innately care about doing what's right, so optimizing for brand differentiation over a unified platform experience is what one would expect to happen in most cases.
