The real architectural elegance here is vertical integration at the OS level. M365 Copilot (Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork) and GitHub Copilot having native Edge browser automation and Windows computer-use capabilities isn't just a feature—it's a fundamental advantage in the agentic AI race.

Same logic applies to Apple Intelligence's deep iOS hooks and Google's Android-level phone-use integration. When your AI agent can directly manipulate OS primitives without hacky workarounds or browser automation layers, you get:

• Lower latency (no middleware overhead)

• Better context awareness (direct access to system state)

• More reliable execution (native APIs vs. fragile UI automation)

This is why platform owners (Microsoft/Apple/Google) have a structural moat in computer-use agents. Third-party solutions will always be fighting uphill against sandboxing and API limitations. The companies that control the OS control the best training data and execution environment for agentic workflows.
