In 1995 there were far fewer platforms than there are now, and most people only had one: their own computer.

Nowadays, we expect the same services to work on our laptop, our work computer, our personal iPhone, our work Android, our smart TV... the importance of parity between versions is much higher.

True, and also, the fact that apps have to work everywhere because everyone’s either on Mac, Windows, Linux, or BSD. And also a lot of power users and people who except things to just work compared to the early days of the PC. Remember sound drivers?
