That’s fair. Apple’s been shifting away from exclusively using proprietary protocols and connectors over the last decade. Most of their remaining proprietary use is in addition to industry standard protocols and connectors now. Adding RCS support in the fall is a long-awaited adoption. They were holding out in effort to leverage GSM to adopt an encrypted RCS standard, but it didn’t happen.
You’re misunderstanding them… They’re talking about clipboard sharing between iPhone and Mac.
You select some text on your phone, copy it and then you can paste that text on your Mac.
They’re not talking about copying and pasting files.
Yes. My experience was many years ago, but it was annoying enough to put me off trying to integrate Apple with other ecosystems.

Ah OK.
Does this feature work with my Android or will I need to buy an IPhone as well as a MacBook?
This does not work with android. They’re talking about the vertical integration of Apple products.
