> Interoperability is great,

Yup, and that's what people want. So what is the integrated service you are saying exists that can be a drop in replacement for the way so many organizations use Google's integrated services?




There isn't one, and there's no incentive to build it so long as creating a walled garden is more profitable.


> There isn't one,

There we go. So if we go back up to your first comment where you say there are separate replacements for some services, you can see that isn't really relevant since what is being discussed was a drop in replacement for Google, and not an individual service they offer.

Aside from that though, Google's offerings are not a walled garden.
