My personal favorite all-time plug for fans to ask Apple to open up the operating system to create a clone vendor list was re-soundly and honestly by Steven P. Jobs, internally and at MacWorld.
``We checked in on the clone business and you know what we discovered? Nearly all of the clone vendor sales took sales away directly from Apple. They weren't growing the user base.''
The reason the iPod was a success is it served a simple purpose: playing Music and later showing Videos and simple games, before being surpassed by the iPod Touch, etc.
iTunes was the Media software that managed your media device. That's it. It grew a media centric, and mainly one-trick pony, product into a big business because what OS within it was not part of the equation.
Extending Apple to open up key applications and/or OS X to other platforms and/or vendors is RETARDED.
Comparing opening up a communication application like iMessage to opening up the entirety of OSX is the only thing RETARDED here. Seriously, where do you come up with these comparisons?
The biggest difference is that you don't need to get a personal profile. You can join without feeling like you are part of a social network. There are no public posts. So basically, they get people to join who do not like to join a social network. That is why it is valuable to FB. There are a lot of people using whatsapp who do not use FB. And that is also the reason why messenger is less successful in Europe and will not be able to replace it. No matter how much it is advertised.
And now that Facebook is buying WhatsApp, people will be forced to join Facebook. That is inevitable.

Would you say iMessage is more key to OS X than, say, Office is to Windows?

Doubt it. The easy sign up process for WhatApp using your phone number is one of its best features.
You don't need a Facebook account to use Instagram do you?

I'd say it's stupid and a bad idea.
Maybe someone can explain this for me. What does Whatsapp do that Skype or Facebook Messenger don't already do ?
That isn't the point, its how its done.
You could otherwise just buy windows, because you can do everything you can do on a mac ...
