This isn't even remotely true. Android began development in 2003 and was bought by Google in 2005. The trend to mobile computing was always a matter of time. To say smartphones wouldn't exist without ios is like saying computers wouldn't exist without windows operating system.

lol, no Android nostr apps, sorry man
None of that is even remotely true and that's not how technology works. We had applications and operating systems on desktop, it was only a matter of time before they ended up on phones as similar or different operating systems and infrastructure. Just because Apple released their os first doesn't change the fact the same functionality was being developed by others simultaneously.
that’s not how tech works, correct
but I’m talking about growth and witnessed everything blow up here since November/December last year
