>But as we should all know, it's not enough to press a button and deploy perfectly. You gotta fix all thr quirks, and that's where most of the budget for a dedicated team back in the day went. Not so much these days.

Have you ever worked on a project that targets both Android and iDevices? Close to none of them are just one magical code base that hits both devices. Overwhelmingly there is an enormous amount of custom code for each platform. You are propping up a myth to support this ridiculous contention.

>75% isn't enough when targeting 100% of the market.

Only garbage apps target "100%" of the market with one app. Again, I feel like I'm talking to people who have never, ever touched a mobile app.

>Straight from the horses' mouth

You literally linked to the app policies. That has zero relevance for PWAs.

The fact that my upper level comment got flagged, hilariously, betrays how utterly delusional, detached from reality, and just nonsensical almost all discussions on this are. It is always portrayed against a mythical strawman (the magic "only one app magically targets everyone, that no one is actually doing it").

PWAs fail because they're usually bad, and web development teams usually have horrifying attitudes towards users. It has nothing to do with Apple.
