Question I get from native-app devs: "so, I can only store like 50mb or something? How do I get more?" (you can, but you have to ask)

^^^ is why PWAs are, on average, better for for users for _cultural_ reasons Respect for limits is result of managing distribution directly

Most PWAs I see are something like 10-100x smaller *by default* than their native app counterparts. And that's w/o loss of functionality.

Put another way, PWAs and the web force you to build a _streaming_ version of your app. Native apps can't even see those limits from here.

So native apps live in a world of negative externality: force users to be sysadmins about expensive resource on the *dev's* behalf.

We can talk all day about how slow and bad and abusive adtech is (and oh boy do I have opinions)...but a bit of perspective is in order.

Native apps tend to be _terrible_ citizens of constrained devices because native devs only feel size/weight as trailing adoption factor

Maybe it's render slow, or layout, or JS. I just hate to care about it too much.
