It's better for me, a user of an iPhone.

I suspect that there are too many differences for me to really list., but for starters MacOS supports multiple user accounts and has beeen built from its inception to allow people to install software from anywhere.
For several years now, MacOS has blocked unsigned apps from running. You have to manually enable every single app installed this way inside System Preferences > Security. Android handles it the same way.

Yes, of course, any defense of Apple must be due to remuneration. LOL. It's an oversight, I suppose, but a defensible one. Putting management for subscriptions in the AppleID management area of Settings on Apple devices is an entirely reasonable thing to do. For one thing, it means you don't have to futz with a login to get to it. I'd never use a web login for this. I'm sure most Apple users feel the same. And you ha…
It's HN so there must be closed source and walled garden simping to no end because no actual hacker has been in these parts for half a decade, all having left after the great walled garden simpfest of 2018.

> Personally I don’t care about PWAs at alls. If you want an app, build an actual app. Are you going to foot the bill for the development cost of building an actual app for a team that doesn't have iOS software dev expertise? Thought so...
Then don’t offer an app. PWAs are worse than not having an app.
Handwriting a 30 page assessment questionaire, fumbling a camera take relevant photos, and then manually correlating the photos to the assessment questions as it's written up properly... Is somehow better than a PWA?I
PWAs aren't a golden hammer, but they're not as useless as your opinions.

I am a developer and user, and I think it is better for me at least.

For someone who values professionalism you're strangely entitled. Do you think people would enjoy working with someone who threatens consequences as soon you're called out for being an ass? Are you being professional when you try to bait me into doxxing myself for what, getting revenge over a comment on the web? "I dare you! I triple dare you! Coward! Let's continue outside HN". Then you belittle me calling me a "cut…
For someone who values professionalism I'm uniquely qualified to tell you to sit your ass down and shut it. Let's back up here: the whole crux of you deciding to pick a fight with me was over me commenting about some people thinking their edge cases with Apple deserves special treatment. Guess what, no they don't, they're not special. The customer isn't always right. Neither is Apple in many cases, but they are the l…
I didn't read most of your post but I get the gist, you're really cool and I wish I could lick the ground you walk on.
