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.
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*.

Well we’re plenty upset over here, but feel we have no choice but to work within the system and keep browser apps competitive with native. That’s pretty much the extent of what we do all day. Without that I fear the web stack is worse off

I think most people who know what is being lost *are* upset, but aren't saying anything, but silence or one-sided bargaining isn't improving things. The status quo just burrows further in.
