I certainly agree with you, but both as a developer and as an end user.
As a developer, writing responsive web apps provides decentralization, not being a slave to a monopoly platform, being able to push frequent updates, etc.
As an end user, I almost always prefer web versions over native apps. I have a very small number of iOS apps installed, like a very good Go game, Chess game, a few development tools on my iPad, and my bank’s app.
On my MacBook and Linux laptops I have open source software development tools and Firefox.
I hope I don’t sound too political here, but I feel the need to constantly push back against corporations and uphold my rights as a tiny minority (me!, not a democrat, republican, vegetarian, whatever). I sometimes choose to be a paying customer of Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft for services that I highly value, but they don’t own my loyalty except for a few products that I am at this time happy to pay them for at this moment in time.
