Might? They will win, is it not obvious at this point that every single app in the near future will be sandboxed in some way? The unix grey beards had a couple decades to prove they could write secure software and they failed.

Or to write a UIKit that works across Windows, Linux and macOS with no hassle, making cross-platform development easier. But no, we have 3 SDKs on a single platform already and it apparently is confusing.

Oh wait, they did create a true cross-platform platform: the browser.

It is so cross platform, that some think it is too much work to support various browsers so they bundle Chrome with the application.

Could be worse I guess, there are those that ship a whole OS with the application.
