I noticed this with the line "Around 2010, something shifted. The iPhone was ascendant. Native apps were sleek, fast, fluid." When the iPhone was first released, the experience was much worse than today's web experience. Sure apps/native also got much better, so 15 year ago webs were worse than today's apps, but that's not a fair comparison.

Also, note that the original intent of the iPhone was to enable PWAs - Steve Jobs basically coined the phrase! Then they abandonned that and have held back browser development for 15+ years, to keep people making native apps that they can extort
