A messaging service that cannot interoperate across platforms is strictly non-inclusive by design.

So messaging services must be "inclusive" now ? What is that supposed to mean

100% sure messaging services should be inclusive. Imagine a world with 100 people. 20 are not able to use messaging service A because they cannot afford the computing platform needed to run A. Let’s assume 50 of the remaining 80 choose to buy the said platform and also prefer using service A. Then the 50 and 20 are disconnected from each other. Won’t this result in increasing the socio economic gaps?
