The data I shared in this talk keeps me up at night. The web is going gangbusters on desktop -- but it's dying, *actually dying*, on mobile, where users now live. Why? Sites built for desktop shoehorn'd into phones & policies that undermine browser choice + web competitiveness.https://twitter.com/FronteersConf/status/1181295096752492550 …
Past that, you might imagine that we (along with Opera, Mozilla, and all the other browser vendors who ship iOS browsers) are smart enough to have thought of this...and it's complicated.

But none of that excuses Apple suppressing choice and capping how good the web can be through low investment. I support voting with your wallet, of course, but it's not a workable fix to structural prejudice against the web.

So - if that's the problem - what's the solution? You can't *force* Apple to do anything - unless you can make it make business sense (hence forcing people to vote with their wallets) to force them to change, there's no leverage.
