It's *great* for end users. Who wants to be managing "app updates"? We've made billions of users sysadmins and it's a shitty thing to do to anyone.

Think about this a the pitch you'd make to a VC for a new product: "you know that thing you have to do over and over and over that doesn't really help you, but you feel guilty about not doing? What if you didn't have to do that any more?" <punchline>

But that's the thing. My android device updates every night and I don't do a single thing.

If we want to chart a path out of the app store culdesac, we need tech and tools that don't tie you to it fundamentally (hence my continued argument against TWA EH).

TWAs only solve for a portion. The marketeers, CEOs etc. of the world have iPhones in their pockets and they will *never see a TWA* because Apple will never let it be so.
