And this is well known by everyone, and your family still chose Apple (in fact, I'm fairly certain this is why most people choose Apple - they want everything to "just work"). Apple has no obligation to provide any "ecosystem".
At the end of the day there isn't some mass hypnosis at work here. People choose Apple en masse because it works for them. Nothing stops Apple users from making an SMS (now RCS) group chat, either, nor from you and your family hosting a group chat on any other app on the App Store.
This is a social walled garden they've built over years and has been solidified by users choosing it over and over again. Are they exploiting our brain's capacities regarding social pressure to extract profit? Sure, but so does every fast food company, social media company, marketing company, etc.
I think it's interesting that you phrase it as "require" regarding a group chat made by your family members. Apple doesn't require this, your family members chose Apple when they purchased their phones.
This is purely design-decision-based, it has nothing to do with the limitations of the hardware. A laptop with a weaker CPU than a flagship Android could probably stream and play hundreds of audio streams (no promise it'll sound coherent, though).
I understand that most people probably consume more whole foods that might not have the cut-and-dry numbers on OFF. It just does feel like a big lacking feature to just categorically exclude OFF, if I wanted to use it.
Many items do have these things.

Also, looks like the Apple Health option in Settings actually opens the start-of-week settings modal.
> In addition, we appreciate the help from the Apple Security Team for their prompt responses and acknowledgement. Apple recently released patches in iOS 18.2, visionOS 2.2, iPadOS 17.7.3, 18.2, watchOS 11.2, tvOS 18.2, macOS Ventura 13.7.2, Sonoma 14.7.2, Sequoia 15.2 to fix the vulnerability. However, the attack remains effective as long as unpatched iPhones or Apple Watches are in the proximity of the computer running our trojan.
Seems like a pretty bad vulnerability to just hope 1.5B iPhones alone update soon enough. I know people still on iOS 17/16... All of them are now complicit.
But I'm happy to see my state represented in security research :)
If AI is revolutionary, yet ubiquitous (anyone can visit chatgpt.com right now), there won't be these runaway winners in a specific industry; at best, new branches of industries will grow rapidly, and perhaps within an industry progress will intensify.
