Yes, but I'm saying some would respond to your claim that it's Google's responsibility to bring Watch support to Android with the fact that Apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to bring Watch support to any platform. It's like saying it's Google's responsibility to support iMessage on Android: sure, but it's not technically possible anyhow without Apple doing work.

I agree that government forcing interoperability in this way is pretty concerning. Maybe Apple is an exception (arguable, I don't believe it, but not preposterous).
