In a world where when Apple puts a dialogue on your phone, that when they try track you with ads, they ask "allow us to enhance your experience?" whereas when other companies try to track you, they ask "allow <company> to track you across apps and websites?"

In a world when you can't even hint at the existence of a payment mechanism outside the App Store to get subscriptions?

It's not the most anticompetitive but it's definitely competing for the title in big tech.

They single handedly killed PWA in iOS, they should get split up just for that
They didn't: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34543451

PWAs were never alive to begin with.

If they were there would be amazing world-shattering and paradigm-changing PWAs on Android which holds 71% of worldwide market share.

Oh wait. There are still none. For reasons obvious to anyone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34517503

PWAs killed PWAs. The only people who want PWAs are the devs too lazy to learn anything outside half-baked react.
they're slowly reversing course on this. It's not like PWAs ever had amazing support on other mobile OSes. The standard just isn't quite there
And yes, that’s why there are so many great PWAs on Android…
