A part of this issue is that said company intentionally cripples their web browser (and all browsers in their platform because they run on the same engine) to prevent progressive web apps from competing with their App Store.

This may not be the biggest issue but really grinds my gears because it holds back a whole ecosystem of possibilities.

One of the possibilities being total Chrome dominance everywhere. "This website only works with Chrome" situation.


Nothing stopping apple from implementing more and better APIs in their browser to match Chrome.


Maybe security/privacy of the APIs?


Not at all, no such issues where these are implemented.
