#Apple: "If some developers don't want to abide to our store's exploitative rules, they're always free to release their apps as PWAs".
Also Apple: "We're killing PWAs overnight with no notice and no migration plan, from now on they'll just open in a Safari window, and we're going to break their access to notifications and storage. Btw, we're only going to break them in the EU".
The Register used the right term for this act: malicious compliance. Or retaliation for forcing them not to be jerks, I guess.
I've followed antitrust rulings in the EU since the early times of Internet Explorer. And I've never, ever seen a company being as uncooperative, retaliatory and aggressive as Apple. It really makes you wonder whether all the worst sociopaths in the world just decided to go and work for the same employer.
