Interestingly, when he was asked about walled gardens, he stated his adamant support for full HTML5 capability that would be on par with the app store, so you would always have access to anything you want.

I guess it didn't quite work out that way.

Well, web apps are crap on Android too compared to actual native API apps...

And of course they're crap on PC (Electron).

It's funny because we all knew Flash was a scourge on the web and highly inefficient, and we swung so far around in the other direction that now Electron is a scourge on desktop and highly inefficient.

Price of progress I suppose.
