Before Android killed them, webOS existed, as did Maemo.
Would you be willing to entertain that maybe they died because most people who used phones found those platforms to be weaker product offerings with the things they cared about and that your value system may have fundamentally differences? Would you further entertain that the inability to perceive such realities and differences and manufacturers inability to navigate these preferences is a major determinant of succes…

Microsoft Explorer did the same earlier with Netscape. Simply bundle your own software with the OS and watch the competition flutter.
Your average consumer really doesn’t know the difference.
Why isn't this opt-in? I'm sick of having to add yet another config option every time some Web giant decides it is OK to abuse my website and my visitors.
We should make this opt-in, by emitting the header by default in Apache and nginx and requiring special configuration to remove the header.

Most of the people outside the US cannot afford an iOS device, so my guess is that missing Android there would be something else (Blackberry ? Windows Mobile ? who knows how it would have gone)
honestly with the rise of the web-app based phone app platforms (react/ionic etc) becoming almost "standard" the friction for porting to a hypothetical third platform goes down substantially. Ignoring the branding law of duality (that generally only 2 brands occupy the supermajority of a product category) and looking only at technical barriers, now looks to be better than ever for a third platform to possibly arise -…
Those are cost cutting choices that don’t automatically lead to porting to other platforms. Small players will still churn a single app for iOS based on their site’s react code, for instance.
Basically those who didn’t care for other platforms before still don’t care that much, but instead of being their 1298th priority in the list, it might have rosen to the 34th or 35th position.

Web server software should absolutely not add a bunch of garbage to work around some ad company's shenanigans.
They shouldn't have to , but there are several examples of where it's the software author who has take action in order to put a stop to it. Not an Apple fanboy, but Safari is a great example of software which has changed its default behavior to prevent creepy things from happening.
Different companies, different incentives

Waiting for google to make this a ranking factor for SEO like they did with amp.
That’s probably already the case. This is a common area of speculation in the SEO community. Trying to figure what factors are used by Google to determine the ranking. People will add it in their configs and anecdotally perceive that it has an impact in their rankings. It would likely become a must for SEO. This a reflection of how incredibly genius the original PageRank was. It’s what makes Google the business it is…
