Why release this? Because they're building their own ecosystem. They're trying to build an alternative to the big players, which means they need to have an alternative to all their major products. Maps and YouTube are probably off the table for now, just because of the sheer scale needed for those, but something like this is achievable.

Is Aegis better? Maybe, but that's not really the point, it's part of a family of apps.
