This is not a coincidence, Apple purposefully make it painful to use anything with any of their products unless it’s one of their products
Leaving aside that this one is Microsoft’s fault, how is it painful? Do you even have an iPhone? And if so, how often do you move images to your PC from it, without those images going through an intermediary service?
