Syncing anything to anything seems to almost be invariably broken beyond repair, specially between products made by different companies.

Interoperativity among syncing systems, even following the myriad of 'standards' for this seems to be hopeless.

> Also, our technology is broken on that angle; things simply are not expected to work well with each other from the start.

I think this is the core root of the problem, which it seems everyone in this discussion is ignoring. If Syncing was not so badly broken we wouldn't have this discussion to begin with (and same goes for most other common problems of this kind, this is simple stuff that should have worked without a hitch for ages).
