Sure, it decreases user satisfaction for a SUBSET of users, who care about web apps. This subset seems to be strategically negligible for Apple. This is a trade-off which is absolutely rational from the shareholders/management perspective.

Your fanboyism shows. This thread is not about Google, also a corporation which actions are driven by interests of management and shareholders.

Ah yes, pointing out that your anti-Apple arguments are just as easily applied to Chrome/Google, Firefox/Mozilla, or IE/Microsoft makes me a fanboy.

It's like Betteridge's Law for discussions involving Apple.
