Are they doing web requests upon opening every settings page or what?

Hmm, and using React even! No wonder it’s slow and bloated.

  • You gotta wonder if this has been a reaction to a shrinking Cocoa/ObjC and SwiftUI talent pool

    • Could be that nowadays a lot of UI code will probably converge on web-first stuff like React, since it has a larger talent pool, as you said, and is inherently cross platform. Microsoft's newer apps like Teams are also built in React.
