Hi Patrick! To be clear, I think the web platform is largely headed in the right direction. It's just a question of velocity, especially relative to other application ecosystems like iOS's App Store. When a product cycle is on the order of a couple years, but even simple new capabilities (like XHR priority) take years of discussion before anyone implements it at all, then we basically can't assume anything beyond the current web capability set when planning a product. And the current web capability set is not good enough for the kinds of experiences people take for granted on native! I hope that changes! I think the web would move faster if browsers would stop cooperating so much with each other. Increase the rate of churn; let the best APIs win. Some niggles: I personally think anti-fingerprinting measures are overweighted, especially given that preventing fingerprinting is basically a lost cause. I also think there's room for more "unspecified behavior" in the web, e.g. it sucks that we have to pay a penalty so that NaN can have perfectly consistent behavior on all platforms in SIMD.js.
