Good try at subtle insult, but it missed the mark.
Yes, the web had some promise many years ago. Now it's a monstrosity fuelled by Chrome non-standards that's one step away from collapsing under its own weight.
Cases in point: https://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2021/08/breaking_th... and https://toot.cafe/@nolan/106715828929897555 and https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope....
But now that it’s in Apple’s financial interests (not even its users’ interests) to push for native apps so Apple can collect their tax, the Apple supporters have seamlessly switched sides.
