The paid magazine subscription service, Texture, used to be able to be 
used on any device, OS-X, Windows, Android, iOS. Just like iTunes. Apple 
bought the company. The product is now called Apple News+, and is OS-X 
and iOS only: “To continue reading, you’ll need a compatible Apple device.”

There is no Android or Windows equivalent to Apple News+, it's not like 
music services where you have competition like Spotify, though of course 
Apple Music is available on Android as well as iOS.

Selling a subscription service and writing off 87% of the global market 
of mobile devices, and 88% of the global market for computers seems 
counter-intuitive.
