   Yes, #Apple will demote WebApps to bookmarks on iOS 17.4 in the EU. Yes, they claim the EU is to blame. And no, that is not true IMHO. What is right is that under the DMA (Digital Market Access) rules WebApps could become a real escape route for Apps to avoid the Apple App Store tax. So better to close that possible loophole and blame the evil EU. IMHO. Reminds me a lot of the Cookie Banner stuff. Same story. Same blame game.

     @jwildeboer @Gargron tbh , web apps are inferior to native apps . Not to mention that they have massive environmental cost

     @Gargron @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.the number of tasks that people used to achieve with simple native software, that now has to waste energy either running in web browser, or even making web calls and execute APIs on servers. You'd be astonished.
     So yes, cloud and web stuff has a substantial environmental cost. Sorry to break it to you :)
