I believe the stifling of innovation the parent comment refers to is that of browser engines, not of PWAs.

  It’s not innovation if it’s just catching up to what another platform has been able to do all along.

    In a walled garden, the ability to for the user to do what they want, where they want is perceived as innovation.

      The user can’t do what they want where they want on the web. The web is an adware and privacy destroying machine.

Sounds like you're setting a double standard when Apple also runs ads on their devices[0] as well as selling their user's private data[1] [0] https://stevestreza.com/2020/02/17/ios-adware/ https://stevestreza.com/2020/02/17/ios-adware/ [1] https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/26/apple-italy-fine-user-data-commercial-gain/ https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/26/apple-italy-fine-user-d...

          > Sounds like you're setting a double standard when Apple also runs ads on their devices[0] as well as selling their user's private data[1] Anyone who claims those are equivalent to what is going on on the web is being dishonest. Neither of the articles even claims that Apple was “selling user data”, so that’s a straight up lie. I can’t help you if you are going to post links that don’t say what you claim they are saying.
