> Progressive web apps
I don't want PWAs. Apparently Google is their biggest promoter and Chrome has the best PWA support but the apps still stuck. I prefer to leave them open in a Chrome tab than have it pop out and pretend to be a native app. So good on Safari to not support it properly, it does not provide any benefit at all.
> Lagging support for WebRTC and other features
Again, I don't care. Just write a native app if you want to do video/audio calls, or send/receive files. The worst native app for these purposes is better than the best WebRTC implementation.
> Bug and infrequent updates
All software has bugs. When Chrome has one, webdevs are forced to hack up a workaround. When Safari has one, they complain.
Please leave safari alone. It is very good as it is. We don't need any more newfangled web "standards" which are mostly pushed by Google so that they can justify not writing native apps for any of their products. Enough is enough Google, just write apps for the platforms you want to sell on.

Zoom however has had a constant parade of vulnerabilities over the last year.
