Facebook bought whatsapp for $16 billion (that is 16 * 10^9 dollars).
How do you think they are going to monetize it? By letting their users
change providers painlessly?
Likewise they bought instagram for $1 billion. They are /betting their
farm/ on closed platforms. What do you think their shareholders think
about e-mail?
There's a huge financial incentive in poisoning the well (aka "open
platforms") to sell bottled water.
