I imagine Basecamp's iOS app could well be affected by this. A company which revolutionised web development fails to get the Apple seal of approval. Walled garden is too tame a label. I hate Apple's arrogance. In some ways they're worse than the Microsoft of 2000. Guess whose browser is the only one still not supporting progressive web apps?

That's like arguing that apps built with Apple's own UIKit are soon to be subject to removal, because UIKit is a "framework."

Pretty much. And there are some pretty important apps built with react.

I think this is more intended to remove the plethora of cookie cutter apps.
