it will be really cool to write more capable web apps using browser engine libraries(webview), so you have true cross platform apps(from desktop to android and ios), it's the only way to achieve that. the problem is really on apple's side, if its own webkit keeps ignoring the new advancements in web apis intentionally(PWA, new web apis,etc), at least it should allow a true thrid-party browser engine installed who can do it. a true chrome will be much better at least. what apple does has to be stopped via lawsuits as microsoft experienced in the early days for its browser and OS exclusive tight integration.
