Google has Android, which is a lot better than luck. Apple made iMessage popular just by putting it on every phone. Google did that too, but they did it wrong.

Android is a chat app?

iMessage is nice but has far far fewer users than WhatsApp, WeChat, etc.

GP means Google had a platform so they had leverage to push a chat app. They had something that is better than just "luck".

It’s not an overwhelming advantage. Also the problem isn’t having luck, individuals only have luck in hindsight, it’s competing against luck.
