As I've replied to someone with pretty much the same type of post as you:
People don't judge a platform on its own merit but rather in comparison to the other platforms available in order to know which one suits their needs the best.
If you buy, say, an electric car. What do people do? They want to know how much mileage they can do without charging, how long it is to charge, how fast they can go, etc. In comparison, the gas car is more efficient as you can drive real fast really quick, it takes 2 minutes to fill up with gas, you can do hundreds of kilometers of road before having to fill up the gas tank.
The electric car is a better car in itself. But does it fit everyone's needs for now? No.
Even if it did, people would still compare both. Some would prefer an electric car and some a gas car. So people are still going to compare them against one another. Same goes with the mobile platform or any other product. Nothing wrong there!
