No, he doesn't do that anywhere in his message.

He is complaining about what Google does even WITHIN it's own platform (and the web).

Regardless of what Google does within its own platform, he still compared what Google did on iOS to what Apple did on iOS.

FWIW, I have Android and when I downloaded and launched Hangouts it automatically logged me in. I assume iMessage was similar - but a third-party app wouldn't be for obvious reasons.

And nothing, even on this part of his complaint, was about things that Google couldn't fix because Apple didn't let them.

So the "closed/someone-else's platform" remark was redundant.
