Of course. We can also imagine scenarios where we fall into another browser monoculture and fail to take the web in the best possible direction, right? As I said, there’s tension, that’s a *good* thing, even when it’s painful. It keeps us all honest and doing our best.
That's *partially* a consequence of the centralising friction that native comes with: tap+swipe much easier than typing (also, language barriers). Consequence: apps on the (limited) homescreen get much more engagement.

Web was locked out of homescreen for the first ~decade. Only in (Android) App Stores in the past 2 years. Still functionally locked out both on iOS.

That seems strained. What sorts of sites do you imagine feasibly "taking" user time from FB/Tw/Insta, if only they had more seamless access to the home screen?
