Because they used to announce web-related things at WWDC. e.g. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2013/601/

Yeah, and last year they had a session called Extending your App with Safari App Extensions (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/214/), as well as Apple Pay on the Web (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/703/). So they still do have the occasional web-related session. But for the most part there's not much need to be talking about web stuff at WWDC, because most development of the web stuff happens in the open already throughout the entire year, and WWDC isn't being attended by web developers anyway, it's being attended by app developers.

I remember when they announced multipath TCP during WWDC. It sounds like you are saying that WWDC is only for app developers and they just don't have a conference for web developers. I thought they cared about the web, they used to.

There's a bazillion difference conferences for web developers. Why do you want WWDC to be one too?
