You said that “if you can download something, it’s a feature of the OS”. That is not true. If it was a feature of the OS, you wouldn’t need to download it, plain and simple.
On Android, you can download an emulator and play retro games. On iOS (last I knew) you can not. That is a feature of Android that iOS does not have. If you disagree then we’re disagreeing on how we define a feature.
The ability to download an emulator is a feature of Android. The ability to emulate games is not. That is a feature of the emulator that you downloaded. If I add a hydraulic suspension to a Ford Focus, that doesn’t mean that hydraulics are a feature of a Ford Focus. If you have to add it, it is, by definition, not a feature.
