You haven't really looked at app platforms before, have you. If you buy evernote on IOS, you're sure not getting it on android.
MS is being friendly to it because they're behind. In the Xbox 360/PS3 days, it was Sony asking to do cross-play and Microsoft denying it. Its a PR play, and you're buying it.
I'm not on Sony, but I think the appropriate analogy would be making an evernote account on google, then logging in on ios, and then subsequently being unable to use that account on google.
