The only advantage that user agent sniffing has over fat binaries is the decreased size, and usually, it’s a fairly small difference. Small benefit, big drawback. Plus, there are all the smaller developers or hobbyists who just want to share the app they made, and maybe don’t want to figure out how to get user agent sniffing working on their site—or maybe they are just sharing a link to Google Drive with the game that they made. Also from my experience, people still share downloaded copies of applications. We can use thin binaries only when necessary—web browsers, for example.
