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 …
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.

It seems like the only real hope is to get them into a situation where they're the 'lone' hold out and force them into a situation where they either support it or the community chooses to polyfill or not support that ecosystem.
