I can't tell if I'm just too old and infirmed to understand the information needs of the younger generations. But between nearby share, wifi direct, and bluetooth transfer... I have no idea what function I am missing out on. What does airdrop do that makes life so tedious in the absence of?
All of those never work with all of the devices you want to share with or to. And some of them are really cumbersome to set up. Airplay especially makes it really easy to stream content to a larger screen, and most Android solutions are either also proprietary or are not supported by a large enough spectrum of devices.
