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.
