Good question. I think it's just one of those things that takes a lot of time to manage and update, and we are understaffed and somehow it's not prioritized. I'll bring it up and see if I can get some more updates going..

Also, he is not wrong, the chrome.socket API was pretty crap. But it was replaced with chrome.sockets API which is good.

There are "hosted" chrome apps, which are indeed glorified bookmarks. The "packaged" chrome apps are actually offline by default. Two separate things, with the same name...

The post said existing apps will continue to stay in the store for the next few years at least. So you have at least a few years to adapt.

Chrome apps can have extensive permissions that web platform does not provide. - Full TCP/UDP socket support (AFAIK this is never coming to the web platform) - Bluetooth support (Web platform is getting this, though) - Filesystem suppo

The text is too large on this blog post on a mobile device. If it were written on medium, at least it would be more legible.
