People like you could turn off these features and continue installing and updating native binaries for the Starbucks app or random hardware companion apps all you want. I'd like first-class PWAs please.
When the obvious answer I gave about how to reduce the memory footprint and make it more performant was “to stop using fucking [web technologies]” and create a native app
But the question I always ask people who say that it’s mean old Apple keeping PWAs back, why is it that all of these same companies see a need to create an app for Android?
To your last point surely it makes sense that they'd probably be rolling something like RN or similar where at that point they may as well build for Android app as well right?
Versus with proper PWA support across the board, a single button on the company's site that installs a PWA no matter which platform your customers are on.
Papa John’s doesn’t need a website seemingly and everything you can do on the app you can do on the website. Why is the app so much faster? I can say the same for banking apps, Airbnb, hotel apps, etc
There must be some reason that every major company decided to have an app even though today all of the same functionality is available on the web.
