> It needs people like me, who care deeply about this "niche". But people like me are a dying breed. You can have (the illusion of) a "secure" platform, but eventually you'll be left with nothing except apps ported from iOS. At that point, what's the Mac except an extremely overpriced iPad?
The implication here is everyone that's a Mac developer like you shares these opinions, that Mac-native software is going away due because developers are being pushed away by these minor hurdles. More likely, native software's going away because web-based technology has gotten better and better, and for most companies it's just more economical to be cross-platform with something like Electron.

It sounds like you do agree with me that native Mac software is going away. We can argue about what exactly is causing that, but I'm not sure how Mac developer opinions are directly relevant.
