Asked an entire room full of webdevs yesterday if any of them knew that FF/Chrome/Opera/Brave/etc. for iOS weren't allowed to compete on engine quality. Zero hands up.
Technically, Apple doesn't allow *any* web apps in their store. Actively hostile to the real web vs. their owned-and-operated closed stack.

More like an anti-packaging up a website that doesn’t look nor feel like an app and requires an internet connection to run in the first place (as opposed to being bundled in the binary)

Okay fine don’t disagree but the stack lives in a way it wouldn’t have. And those devs often target PWAs in addition to App Store. That’s a lot better than not having that stack /runtime there at all. An Ionic app *is* a web app. We’re fighting for the future (often on our own)

Apple has singlehandedly, through these policies, kept the web uncompetitive and has forced us to accept their proprietary gunk in trade. And we aren't even upset any more! It's *bad*.
