Baked in features that android requires apps for

[Rule9]

The title of this thread is the new catch phrase that's become popular with users of walled off restrictive OS's particularly ones not doing so well, ie. WP. This mentality is as apologist as it is flawed. There's a reason why WP bakes some features in. It's because they HAVE to because of lack of developer interest. Taking android's strength - choice and options - and attempting to spin it as a weakness is very disingenuous behavior.

It's Microsoft, do you expect anything less than disingenuous? Their Xbox One marketing shows that off very nicely.
