"With so many people and students around the world working from home, we really need some easy to deploy shared whiteboard solution. This is especially important for pre-college students who may not have access to high end hardware."Just add a new mode to videoconferencing, where both parties get a white screen and both can start drawing and the resulting image stays in sync on both clients? (I feel like this solution is so obvious, I'm about to fly out a window - what am I missing?)
Sounds like way less work for those already developing videoconferencing apps than to deploy stand-alone solutions in addition to that.
In fact, phones could do good just having a "scratchpad" as a "phone-variant" of Notepad and/or Paint. It helps to quickly draw something, a simple sketch, or communication with deaf people or those who don't share a common language.
It's sad to see the state of bloatware on phones and not seeing many useful things. It took ages for them to add the torch/flashlight feature as a standard into the OS, back in the day, we needed to use apps to get that done, so I think it's probably symptomatic of the entire industry.
Hell, it's no wonder Apple can get away selling their expensive stuff, the others aren't really setting the bar high enough...
