I find it incredibly difficult to take Apples positions at face value that their primary reasons for not wanting to implement things comes down to privacy and not about trying to actively fuck up the web platform as a credible alternative to their walled garden which bullshit where they can tax people 30% for the privilege of running a static code analyzer over your codebase before you can release your app. I think they are cynically screaming about privacy while egregious privacy violations are occurring on the native platform side through in-app browsers and spyware masquerading as SDKs that provide the financial backbone for much of their app ecosystem. Just from a purely dispassionate and logical point of view, it’s incredibly difficult to come to the conclusion that Apple is doing anything other than protecting profits by trying to lock people in at every available opportunity.
