That's an interesting perspective. Here's my take: developers don't build web sites for self-enjoyment, they build web sites for users. A lot of those users, especially users having the propensity to spend money, are going to access your web site with an iPhone - an iPhone running Safari. My conclusion therefore is if you're interested in making money then you're interested in Safari. It's a simple calculus for a simple man like me.
Here's another way to think of it - if you want your application to run on Apple's phone then you have to pay the 15% Apple tax. That's the price you pay to get access to their market. If you want your web site to run on Apple's phone then you have to pay the "Safari tax." Again, that's the price you pay to get access to their market. Is the price worth it? That's a business decision, based off ROI. Lots of people complain about it but obviously the ROI shows it's worth it.
- mmis1000 5y agoFor personal project, I won't support it. It is simply waste of time for no return. For company project, I was paid to do it. So I did. But the low quality browser implementation is pain in the ass to debug. If it didn't exist at first place. My life will be far easier.
