I agree on a technical level. I also recognize this is, unfortunately, something that only technically-inclined people care about. Your mom probably doesn't even understand why installing outside the App Store would ever be desirable. (This is not intended to be an insult - I'm trying to point out that I have never found any group in the "real world" that cares.)
- mmcnl 3y agoI agree with you largely, but it's not just about PWAs. It's about open standards vs closed ecosystems. Open standards limit the power of big tech companies like Apple and other gatekeepers. I can see how closed ecosystems benefit the user, but it also worries me how powerful big tech has become, and their power only seems to be growing. iMessage vs RCS is a similar case. Gatekeeper power abuse is not a theoretical problem, see Epic/Spotify vs Apple.
