nothing quite like the perspective of someone from within the walled garden
It's the first button when you open FaceTime. Is that also too subjective?

the experience from the opposite side is the relevant part here. I recall the many years I was sent iMessages but unable to remove my phone number so that I could receive sms messages on my new android phone. The user experience from iOS phones sending me messages I would never receive was "great".
Over those many years you didn’t bother to google that you can just turn it off online? https://support.apple.com/en-ca/102455

It was extremely difficult to disable for a long time before it was made easy to turn it off on a website.
I barely ever FaceTime anyone. Just now after reading your comment I opened the FaceTime app. It has two big buttons:
- Create Link
- New FaceTime
And it showed a balloon tip under create link that said:
“Invite Anyone to a Call Friends with Android and Windows devices can join a FaceTime call if you share a link.”
So yes, seems they actually made it about as obvious as it can be. Maybe even more.
