Normally, a browser sucking would be a problem just for that vendor, who would lose share. But because of the #applebrowserban, Apple has nothing to fear. Instead, Apple continually breaks essential functionality it would *never* break for native developers.
The result? A web that can't compete, even when Apple *finally* gets around to adding features.
