Have these people heard of the iPhone? It came out in 2007. That's 16 years ago. It was never controlled by its users, and that enabled many apps and features, like disappearing messages, that are impossible on devices that are controlled by their users. I think after 16 years it's time to admit that this model is here to stay, and the only question is whether the web supports it, or whether there will be certain apps and features that will never be available on the web.
