The title appears to be quite the reach. If Apple wanted to kill PWA’s, they would have done so worldwide. There is absolutely nothing preventing them from disabling them in the US and Canada (and much of the rest of the world) today, but they haven’t — they’re only disabling them in the EU.

Arbitrarily and suddenly destroying all apps built with a certain tech stack, throughout all of Europe will have a knock on effect for that tech stack that will drive less investment in it for every single European company and every multinational that even sometimes operates there.

Apple is being an absolute piece of shit ~~if they go through with this~~, I will never buy one of their products again ~~if they do~~. They're a trillion dollar company acting like a petulent child because they were forced to be ever so slightly less monopolistic, they're acting like huge pieces of shit.

um... what kind of person uses an acronym over and over through a long ass article without ever stating what the fuck that acronym stands for?

Its in the embedded tweet

Stands for progressive web app which is an app which uses web technologies. Can be both a web page and a mobile app on a phone. Can be added as an app to your phone through a browser rather than downloading it from an app store
