” nothing I personally dislike more than apps that don't use the platform's native UI”

I’m not sure if this is universally applicable dogma. Games generally apply their own UI regardless of platform.

Web apps generally do as well.

I do realize there is space for apps with least surprise per platform, but it’s not obvious to me if an app benefits from platform standard UI any quantifiable way.

They said “apps,” not games nor websites

App usability and performance typically benefit greatly from using the native platform they’re running on. Plus all the egress savings of not shipping chromium with every download

"App usability and performance typically benefit greatly from using the native platform they’re running on"

I know this has always been the design dogma but is there any research to back this up? It's a _plausible_ dogma of course!

To be honest I don't see the distinction between apps and games. I am usually irritated if the software I'm using has different UI on different platforms. I realize it's possible most users don't use three or four operating systems daily.

"Plus all the egress savings of not shipping chromium with every download"

I'm not sure what this refers to. Creating a custom UI does not require embedding a browser runtime - it's the most silly thing to do IMO.
