it's just a circlejerk of gamers pointing to each other to justify why they won't take the miniscule effort of switching platforms

I've gone through this shit back in the days of MSN Messenger, ICQ, and AIM. I didn't exactly switch then, either. Instead I went with Trillian and later Pigin to just use all of them at the same time under one account. Same thing is happening now with everyone I know on different apps. Except there isn't anything like Trillian or Pigin for any of 'em.

Effort is not really a part of the equation for a lot of people. Usually it's just "I don't want to switch".

It's not a circlejerk. It's called the network effect and it's a legitimate phenomenon.
