The original argument compares windows to iOS, but gets weaker when comparing windows to macOS, which is still pretty corralled, but more or less open.

I asked about Xbox because Microsoft doesn’t sell a phone, and Xbox is an example of a Microsoft-run closed ecosystem. So I was curious about how their closed ecosystems compared.

If Microsoft sold a phone, I wonder if it would actually be more open like windows and Mac, or closed like their XBox and the iPhone.
