The idea was that, yes, you would be able to integrate social networks that allowed it into the OS level instead of just app level. But... yeah it didn't happen. I think it's a great idea that - in a socialist utopia - would make for a great phone experience. I'm so loving tired of apps.

But tech companies want to box everyone out and take all the monies so it was never going to happen.

edit: Also this was something you could control. You had an account settings in the hubs. So you could have it just an app, or integrated if you'd prefer.

Yeah I mean, the value proposition to me in 2012 was very high. I used Facebook heavily and was just getting into Twitter. Nowadays I only use Twitter. Other than the metro UI which got absolutely butchered in WP10, the social app integration was a big feature that I would've incrementally found less appealing. Having said that, I don't tend to use that many apps, so having a core OS experience as smooth and enjoyable as WP is sort of the most important thing for me.
