Kinda weird how many people seem to think that it is good when Apple boycotts modern web technologies.
I mean, we all know that electron has its downsides (large downloads, old versions, etc.). But PWAs are the technology to overcome those problems and instead of supporting PWAs, Apple doesn't seem to care to bring crucial features like web push notifications to PWAs on iOS (it is not about pushing ads message, but about being able to efficiently send a message to a phone while the app is in the background, e.g. for chats).
So I can definitely follow the argument of the author.
