It’s not pointless semantic handwringing. I was specifically responding to this:

> I think removing persistent storage and the ability to add websites to the home screen makes it obvious what their strategy is.

Inferring their motives from a policy change that hasn’t taken place is pointless.

This would have been a reasonable thing to say:

> I think removing the ability to add websites to the home screen makes it obvious what their strategy is.

Specifically referring to the removal of persistent storage as if it were a policy change they are currently enacting is counterfactual.
