I understand, and no it would be very easy to do that. But they don't.
However, there are numerous apps that will allow iPhones to load and play WMA files.
I guess I could reverse it and say, would it be so difficult for Microsoft to provide for android users to be able to send and receive using Messages protocol (end to end encrypted text messaging for Apple users.) Apple can send and receive SMS texts, but Andriod can't send Apple Message protocol.
It is what it is. Standardization is a wonderful thing, but tech companies while claiming they support it, seem to always have difficulty with the idea.
I do see that Apple is opening up Facetime (Apple proprietary thing like Zoom) to Windows users. That is a BIG deal. Face time is so much better than Zoom.
