I have never considered the idea that native apps can be objectively evil. Thinking about it, it has its merits. Consider a smartphone with only a web browser which doesn’t support WASM and Web Workers, but supports installable PWAs. * The tasks one strictly needs in a smartphone does not require intensive computing, the kind not possible already with JS. Games do. Banking, govt services, online shopping, messaging applications don’t. Name me one such application. * Applications would consume far less power without compiled binaries or WASM, and without being able to run in the background. This would greatly extend battery life. * All applications would be properly sandboxed with a permissions model and source-code inspectable.
