You're right. It's unheard of for companies to react to consumer outrage. Apple's never done that. They certainly didn't back pedal on their ToS for AppStore apps, they certainly didn't react to negative feedback from the irremovable tracking, they certainly didn't react to publishers and users outraged about 30% that was being, uh rightfully taken from them. It was never a conspiracy theory. It was never people hating Apple. It was people worried that Apple would use their mite to try to crush web apps in order to lock people into their native platform. It's really not that unreasonable to be concerned about that (see every other thing I listed and notice how they're ALL related to locking in users and developers to the iOS platform.

>You're right. It's unheard of for companies to react to consumer outrage. A dozen nerds on a message board ranting about JS performance is nothing close to a consumer outrage. More likely Apple has a roadmap and optimizes it based on what effort will help the most users the earliest.

  I'm not saying that didn't happen. I believe that it did too. I think it's absurd to dismiss everyone that had concerns about it. Can anyone actually explain the downvotes? Did I not contribute to the discussion? Is it unfair to question Apple's motives when they make absolutely NO bones about the fact that they're heavily invest even possibly in the exclusive use, of their platform? Oh well, apparently my defense of skepticism is either too radical for HN or caused me to be lumped in with Apple haters. Oh well, can't say I'm shocked. Oh, you guys. You are so cute/silly. press the arrow, walk away, don't bother actually engaging in a discussion. Because calling people "conspiracy theorists" in regards to a company with a track record is completely fair. What a bunch of jokesters.
