Why did the web take over desktop and not mobile?

I've been writing a big React app for about a year, it runs really well on mobile too, but it is a bit hamstrung by iOS safari due to some errant touch interactions I've not been able to turn off despite much trying: double tapping, pinching in certain random areas can lead to zooming, and there is no good way for the user to undo it.

I'm going to agree that the reason is Apple.

Is this the reason that your app don't work on IOS: https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/05/23/react-v-16-4.html#pointe...

The safari do not support the pointer events.

And there are some polyfill for it: 'If your application depends on pointer events, we recommend using a third-party pointer events polyfill.'

Yes, I agree, how selfish
