@torgo@mastodon.social sure, some of them are only possible because of the security by design of the web versus the security by policy of app stores. The speed/ease of iteration/deployment of the web is why I personally develop websites rather than apps. But I think you're overestimating the direct value of security to end users.
Notifications can be spammy, yeah, but they're also the reason why I'm talking to you now from an app when 15 years ago I would have used a website.

@torgo@mastodon.social as a worked example, I currently keep up to date with the news via the web. The main reason I keep doing that is because of the ease of multitasking. Three years ago I would have mentioned the ease of copy paste and the ease of ad-blocking, but both of those advantages have now gone thanks to improved OCR and system level support for DNS over HTTPS. I'll consider commenting, thanks, but I find the politics exhausting. Apple/Google have big pockets and big incentives for apps to win 2/2
