        Document editing, photo storage, sorting, and ai tagging, sharing, chat functions, maps, email, music, document sharing, etc.

        They aren’t even near to the same thing. It’s like asking “why do you have that smartphone when you can use your Motorola brick phone? They both take mobile phone calls, one just has an interface from the 90s”
