Because they are still a subpar experience to the big 2 and since there’s no money in it (compared to ios and android), development just falls further behind.
Classic henn and egg problem. Most people dont want to use it because their favorite apps are not supported and mist sevelopers dont want to put ressources into a platform without users.
The same reason why microsoft phone failed, they were just too late.
Unless you provide support for APKs and have banking apps supporting your OS, it is really hard to create a non-android-based OS.
Microsoft failed not because of timing, they had the first smartphone os. They weren’t willing to push entertainment. They were targeting business users and enthusiasts, mostly. The same groups that blackberry was targeting.
Blackberry did it better by letting configurations be pushed from a server. Microsoft was content to just make windows, on a phone. “The developers will come.”
In the end, Microsoft realized the power of a centralized app store far too late, and didn’t even go in on it hard enough when they did. The Microsoft store in windows is the same store they pushed for windows phone. They’re still having trouble with it to this day. I still don’t think you can get office delivered via their store.
