I don't understand the idea that Apple is secretly opposed to the web. Why would they keep investing in WebKit then? Why re-build iWork in HTML5? Why add web notifications? iOS 7 was a pretty shaky release in general, Apple's own native apps haven't received a lot of love during the transition either.

It's a sin of omission. They're not opposed to the web, but they're not pushing it forward as much as they could, either. > Why re-build iWork in HTML5? Windows. > Why add web notifications? ...for Mac only. I strongly doubt web notifications will ever appear on iOS. To be fair, Apple has been a much more responsible steward of the mobile web than Microsoft in the IE6 days, but that's damning by faint praise. Ultimately, they care most about their closed app ecosystem, and the web is an afterthought by comparison.
