> Apart from the UI polish

It sounds like you underestimate how hard it is to have "UI polish" implemented just right so that it feels seamless and natural instead of a hack (because honestly we do love to hack but ultimately prefer our prototypes to be implemented first-party, e.g I've been using JACK to stream audio in sync on various devices for years but AirPlay is so much more simple and natural)

I think you misread my comment. Apart from the UI polish, I wasn't impressed --> I was impressed with the UI polish but less so the rest.

I'm aware that implementing this well is a difficult problem and I have utmost respect for those who figure out how to make it feel seamless.
