I really feel like there’s never been a bigger own goal in development history than when developers insisted they be allowed to develop native apps for iOS instead of building on open web platforms. Just imagining a world where the App Store lock-in never happened at all.

There’s real performance reasons why people wanted native apps but I wonder what else could have happened there.
