Seriously. If Apple put even half of the effort into open web standards that they've put into building their mobile SDKs and the App Store ecosystem, we'd have webapps that would be just as capable, performant, and secure as native apps can be.

Though I'm sure then Apple would lock a lot of device access by websites behind a domain allowlist that you have to pay a bunch of money to get on.

When I was doing fancy things with HTML5 Offline, Apple seemed to be actively breaking even that (e.g., storage), like other browsers weren't. Sigh.
