I get why Apple would want to cripple web APIs to the maximum extent possible, but I would expect Mozilla to push in the other direction. For every new API available in Swift or Kotlin but not JavaScript, the web slides further into irrelevance. It feels defeatist to say “you simply can’t have X on the web, because tracking,” when X is available to native apps.

Mozilla has a massive conflict of interest. Massive funding from Google has changed the org. In my opinion, this issue could be swept up in that.

  Wouldn't that make them more likely to mirror the Google/Chrome position than to take the opposite position?

> the web slides further into irrelevance This borders on FUD. The state of PWA functionality today, and the amount of large and new orgs that want a single super well-maintained codebase doesn't have me thinking native is the future. Change my view?

  Agreed for many non tech organizations but I believe native will continue to win in the tech organizations especially the big ones.

    Microsoft made/is making Outlook into a PWA.
