We'll see. I remember when the iPhone wasn't going to support native code apps in favor of web apps for privacy and security reasons.

That turned out differently.

That was great I'd like more info. I'm not sure how Jobs figured web apps would've been practical given a lot of things were still using flash at the time.

We didn't have frameworks like React back then, as far as I know there was pretty much JQuery.

But considering how a lot of projects are moving to web technology these days, it sort of showed how forward thinking he was...
