I will never have a bleeding heart for people who chose to surround themselves in products from that terrible company. They've done anti consumer dealings for decades and have lead the way to other similar companies to follow suit with little to no pushback because of it. Jobs was a terrible human. Tim's no different.
The company said cutting off PWAs was part of an effort to comply with the Digital Markets Act, arguing browsers other than its own Safari software would expose users to security and privacy risks that were not permitted under the law.
They are so full of shit, it's unbelievable! Are they really claiming that their own browser is THE ONLY legal browser there is?!
And if you're European, participate in the elections in June to get more parties into the EU bodies that will take legislative action against companies like Apple. The EU is the reason Apple is even attempting this silliness because Apple was designated a gatekeeper in the Digital Markets Act: one of the great EU acts for consumers.
A big group of Apple fanbase are not ignorant, rather willing accomplices. Just look at the downvotes here. They will do anything to defend Apple's rogue behavior - like resorting to whataboutery, blaming the EU or even claiming that PWAs are bad.
My theory is that by defending Apple, they're trying to make themselves feel important with their overpriced products.
