#3This is awesome. I think the much bigger use case here is building web equivalents of apps that are only available on iOS/Android.

#4We were supposed to be in the age of PWAs. That was the initial plan for iOS before the app store and 30% cuts on subscription apps.
Most web apps suck too though so I guess pick your poison. My strong belief is they want apps because they can spam you with notifications to get your attention.

I believe the same about the Youtube App, I just can't see why else it exists and I hate the video links try to open in the app if you're not careful!

Casting from the web doesn’t work (on iOS at least) but that’s all I can think of.

They want apps so they could fingerprint your device, spy on you and get a lot more information than a web app.

AirPlay should work for every native video element, or do you mean something like chromecast?
