Hot take:

Who's to say Google's plan isn't to make this become big, then purposely give iphone a shittier experience just a few ms of more jank to make android look better? Think long, long term. I wouldn't trust this.

I don't know if they'd do that but Google does treat iOS users pretty shitty. Their apps are always a decent bit behind the upgrade curve. Like they didn't support the new iPhone X display for a good few months after it was released.

Right? Hard pass from me.

It's weird how perception differs based on the platform you're on, because me as an Android user I'm often a bit annoyed that Google seems to treat iOS a bit better by either launching earlier on iOS or taking better care of the User Experience and stability.

Google does something similar to push Chrome over Firefox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19669586

I don't get why you are downvoted..

Lots of google employees here, shame on them.
