I fear they honestly wont stop at app banning now that it has a precedent and apparently lots of people are cheering for it, like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_... poem:
"First they came for chinese apps, but I didn't speak up for I didn't use chinese apps.[...]
Then they came for E2E apps..."
Honestly this all could be mitigated if we had less dependency on app stores, if iOS could send notifications from mobile Safari, WeChat could just migrate to PWA and its most loyal users would follow.
It seems like yesterday (it was) that people on HN were supporting a digital boomer equivalency of not allowing notifications because the web apparently must always be a document serving thing just cause, and a UX problem of websites asking a lot for notification must be met with removal of the function.
