2. They went the app route to begin with... they could have always gone the PWA route (especially the last few years). I don’t know why I have to have a native app if the entire web is now mobile friendly.

- lowtolerance 8y agoFor what it’s worth, Apple didn’t go the app route to begin with. They were all in on web apps on the iPhone, and had no plans to allow native app development until developers demanded it. The iPhone didn’t have native app support until around a year after it’s release. They thought browsers had the capabilities necessary to make web apps mobile friendly enough to fill the need at the time, but that was overly-optimistic.
