Web apps are great but you lose access to some important iOS features and the user experience is degraded. I would like to see more web apps for self-sovereign use cases, but i worry that those won’t scale to mainstream. For example, adding a web app to your homescreen would be difficult for most normies to discover.

I guess Apple allows people like us to opt out of the App Store with web apps knowing that the experience will be worse and most people won’t use it.

"Apple allows people" is really kind of the crux of the issue, isn't it?

I dream of the day that we can have an open source AI just rewrite the full iOS code in rust.

I mean, considering AppleOS is based on Unix, you could just use any Unix based OS for free today. There are tons of great Linux distros available.
