      Anyway. I'm just saying we can't just say that everything is killing the web because we're slow. We need offer more reasons why the web is better for users (less so developers)

      Which device is that? On what network? How much free space do you have? C'mon mate, you *know* you aren't the median or P75 (let alone P90+) user.

      And again, sorry you two... but speed is only one axis and is largely for the *current users using the web on their phones of which there are statistically very few*. Our ecosystem is dying, fast or not.

      I don't disagree about it dying. I'm just arguing poorly that users don't see or don't care about web, they just want content or tools.

      Yes? And they want the best version of those things. The onus is on us to make sure the web is the best; gives you good experiences with the lowest tax rate.

      But people don't find these things through the browser. So it doesn't matter implied tax rate is low.

      That's on browser (/cc @__apf__ @alexainslie) for failing to make app discovery A Thing (TM) in their product. What we can do from the platform side is to make the world safe for a time when they get there. And we're doing it! Again, nothing in platform is a one-turn game.

      But won't that only make it A Thing (TM) on one platform? The web is awesome on Android. It's atrocious on iOS. I (person who wants the web to win) don't even use the web on iOS. The cost to my blood pressure is too high. The web's greatest strengths are its biggest weakness.

      Nothing here is a one-turn game. "This isn't perfect" is the litteral enemy of what can help us move through the strategic space in a way that goes where they ain't. Case in point: what do you think the fraction of iOS devices is in growth markets?

      So, yes, we need to get the word out that iOS is the new IE6 and get web developers agitated that their shiny new Obelisk 11 Pro's are selling them out and undermining their future. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do the things that can improve our chances in the interim.

      Let's say I'm talking with a decision maker; is their choice *really* "Android, iOS, and web"? Or, if we collapse two of those into one, can't we help them improve their ROI?
