    Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp are important. Imagine if Gmail didn’t allow you to use other email clients, you had to use a google made app or the web interface. Would that be a write-off as “not important”?

      I did not say that they’re not important. I said that they’re hosted services, which traditionally don’t have the same expectation of user control as computers that users own.
