This is the comment I was replying to in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39408640 Where the person quite literally said "I don't care if it only works in Chrome, since its market share is high enough".
And then the second sentence following that is: "I don’t think Apple can tell alternative browser engines what features it will allow and which not."
The core problem is not Chrome's adoption of random features. It's Apple's neglect of the native platform, which in turn creates demand for absurd workarounds. As I said way further up in the thread, they're not pushing proprietary browser extensions; so how is it anticompetitive?
I replied to a post asking „And if PWA were such a threat to Apple's business then why are they allowed in US.“
Whether Web Bluetooth, Web HID etc should be implemented in a browser engine is really irrelevant in this context - but the thing is they CAN be implemented in a browser engine. So can pretty much any native functionality currently guarded by the App Store.
