This is actually very hard to implement.<p>The underlying issues are that<p>(a) it is hard to make touchstart&#x2F;touchend act the same as a native click event (touch-scroll interactions, different fat finger slippage, text selection, press duration, etc).<p>(b) you only want to do this for iOS and not any other browser (different browsers and OSes and pointing devices introduce a huge number of other issues: cant prevent the click on the touchend, mouse or pen support is difficult, avoiding ghost taps <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;#q=ghost+click+tap" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;#q=ghost+click+tap</a> ).<p>(c) you run into future compatibility problems (pen, force-clicks, other HIDs).
