Read the article again -- I don't think they are asking Apple to add more HTML5 functionality, they are asking Apple to allow other browsers which have already implemented the functionality they need onto iOS. Their legal team thinks French law is on their side.
The security thing is a bit of a strawman, you are implying that Google, Mozilla, or Microsoft, who all have better HTML5 support, do not take browser security seriously. That's simply not true.
- natch 10y agoYour points don't hold up, because Apple has to worry about platform security, not just browser security. And taking Microsoft and Google as examples does not support your argument. Mozilla, maybe (though possibly just by having fewer users as compared to all of Android and all of Windows) but again they don't have to worry about platform security as much as Apple does. French law is outside of my expertise. I'm just talking common sense here. I do recognize that there might not be much overlap between the two in matters of technology, though.
