I replied to a statement about Heif being an Apple image format. It is not.
Furthermore, HEIF is something that most major mobile device vendors support. Some, like Samsung, even sets it as default on some of their devices.

99.999% of all Android users are defacto locked in by Google. Yes, Android might be open but Play services are not. Google works hard to lock in Android users.
At least Apple are open and honest about locking in iOS users.
iOS and Android spend an inordinate amount of time and money on ways to increase the switching costs between the two systems. Aka they add friction to leaving their ecosystem.
