iTunes was offered free so people could buy music and load it on their iPods.

If Apple spends time and money developing software like FaceTime and iMessage for other platforms, that's time and money they can't spend on software for people who buy their products. Also, Apple would have to support FaceTime and iMessage on other platforms, which would also cost money.

If Apple wants to charge a monthly subscription fee for FaceTime and iMessage on Android, that would be a different issue. I just don't see people subscribing to that like they do Apple Music, Netflix etc...

You do realize iMessgae and FaceTime server and other fees will be subsidized by Apple hardware sales? iTunes is a piece of distributed software, and to sell music no less. There’s a much better chance of seeing iCloud on Android before FaceTime or iMessage.
 
Even the peasants have Apple Music now.
Argh! And they can haz cake too? Blasfemy!

Depends on the new Amazon Apple relationship, I would say that Apple Music will eventually be on the Fire Tablets since it’s shockingly coming to the Echo.

Apple and Amazon have been teaming up on common ground lately. Like Amazon.com is now able to function as an official Apple reseller/distributor for Apple hardware.
 
Apple Music on Android primarily targeted smartphones running the Android operating system. Support for Android tablets, while requested by many users, had not been officially announced or implemented by Apple at that time.

However, Apple frequently updates its apps and services, so it's possible that they have expanded support for Android tablets since then or may do so in the future. To check the current status of Apple Music on Android tablets and any updates regarding tablet support, you should visit the Google Play Store and check the app's official listing or Apple's official announcements regarding app updates. You can also refer to Apple's support resources or community forums for any news or user discussions related to this topic.
