Apple has made it difficult to use web-based technology on its platforms
Just my two cents...<p>The banning of Electron apps for using a non-public API just means it&#x27;s consistent with any other application submitted to the app store... they cain&#x27;t use them sweet private APIs neither. Users can totally still go and download a notarized application though and have no problems. It&#x27;s something that&#x27;ll very likely be remedied by the Electron team in its entirety if it hasn&#x27;t already been...<p>As far as not giving a shit about Safari&#x27;s ability to do WebRTC and PWAs properly; I don&#x27;t really see that as Apple trying to kill web technology as much as them just not profiting off it. Apple doesn&#x27;t make any money from the &quot;web,&quot; they make it from their platforms which aren&#x27;t HTML&#x2F;JS&#x2F;CSS. As a developer, that lack of focus does piss me off sometimes, but... as an end user I don&#x27;t really notice. Safari is still the best mobile browser available, even if it is lagging behind the rest in terms of standards adoption.<p>...<p>And tangentially, in my opinion, the Electron apps being booted is a good thing, if even only temporary, as I really hate downloading an app from the Mac App Store only to find its a full blow fucking Chrome instance for something that would be literally be two NSViewControllers and a handful of &quot;slightly&quot; customized views. Like &quot;Yo, player, your system tray app to show this red or green icon is using 400mb of ram and occasionally locks my CPU. WHY!?!&quot;
