Apple ended up in a battle with a patent troll over FaceTime, which could be part of why it hasn’t been opened up.

Lol. It's intentionally closed, so network effects can drive usage. Common Apple strategy, straight from Jobs.
Yes, Jobs, the great satan of tech. He died so that Tim Apple could sin with impunity. No FaceTime for Windows users — it will bring the rebels to their knees.

I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Wow. Alright, now we're getting somewhere.
Jobs is the guy who claimed they were going to make it an open standard originally.

Jobs just added that to the keynote presentation after running it past nobody.
He was the CEO, if he wanted it done it would have happened.
Jobs also repeatedly lied and backstabbed his business partners when he thought he gained an advantage. As we see here.
