I'm curious what Apple Pay and App Clips means for the ongoing browser wars and the web in general. The more and more Apple or Google create products that only work with _their_ hardware and _their_ browsers, where does that leave everyone else? Imagine scenarios like: - Want to use Apple Pay on your laptop? You'll need Safari! - Want to redeem a reward off a QR code in a store with your friends? If you switch to Safari right now, no problem! - Want to pay your parking meter in a rush? Safari has you covered! I'm aware of Google Play Instant, and I assume that App Clips will only accelerate the adoption of both technologies. But will they be adopted at the same rate, or with the same quality? And where does that leave the users? The web was wonderful in that, as long as you can access a website, you can have a (hopefully/roughly) similar UX. Now it feels like that semblance of access is being eroded with more ecosystem lock-in. Is it possible to open this up?
