@torgo@mastodon.social I think my issue with this kind of thinking is that it doesn't consider the tradeoffs between security (in a fairly narrow sense) versus innovation. If I can't think of a fantastic use case for some new API that will change the world, that says more about me than it does about the API.
It's interesting that the example of ordering food is used - the web won the battle against applications on desktop but it is a rounding error on mobile. In part because of its conservatism, IMO

@torgo@mastodon.social given that apps have worse security than the web, why does TAG think the answer to winning market share from apps is "even more security"? Do you have evidence that people would switch to the web from apps if that was the case? My impression and experience is that people will trade security for convenience at almost every opportunity. @tag@w3c.social 2/2
