There is room for third party alternatives to system features.
e.g. spotlight search / watson, iCloud Drive / Dropbox, 1password / iCloud keychain, Instapaper / Pocket / Reading List
Apple's going to go for lowest common denominator, while third parties can go for a smaller slice of that market.
I would love to see both a system feature and enabling 3rd parties to offer this functionality. Don't expect to see it on iOS... it's too small an app class to expect a custom extension point for it.
