- You are an app that is powered by network effects (n^2, see Andrew Chan's Cold Start problem - really good book)
- Half of your users use Apple, regardless of what you believe is a good platform.
- n_1 = n/2 means your network effect is one fourth, which since you have a cold start problem makes the app unusable and people leave
So regardless of the wishes and opinions, unfortunately it is not feasible to ignore Apple users.

Yet they provide a completely different service - mainly using traced fiat networks. Also there's no social graph, which has its own problems and very low liquidity. Also, you can't use it to buy your first btc, because you need btc for deposit.
I like that it exists, although the inner workings make it not usable for many people. Vexl is paradoxically more inclusive even without Apple.
