Android did not have a FaceTime equivalent back in 2010 to 2014. I know, because I tried it. A simple app where you pressed the contact name and it called the person, reliably and consistently was all that was needed.
There might have been Viber but I didn’t trust that company at all. But when I’m dealing with non tech literate people, I want a consistent, unchanging experience, and that’s what FaceTime was and what all the Android video calling apps lacked.
Skype involved logging in, passwords, and creating accounts, which was a no go for elders who don’t know English and never used computers. I know because I tried it. What worked was Facetime.
My point is that Apple offered the buyers something they wanted, and no one else did, hence they were rewarded.
