This isn't entirely true, in practice.
It's not as bad as iOS, but browsers & search engines can effectively change the rules on you, even on the web. APIs you rely on can be deprecated, browsers can change their behavior, search engines can change your app's visibility, etc.
- dtagames 3y agoBrowsers really don't change to remove features very often. You can still use HTML 1.0 if you'd like and it works fine. API's, on the other hand, are a service like Apple provides with their store. If you rely on someone else's service (APIs), they might change. Your own don't have to.
