That sounds like the market working, no? Some people like how Apple does things, so they stick with Apple. Others prefer Android, so they switch.
The point is that users should have choice, not force users to bend to the will of malicious developers.
Does android still give you a push notification to dismiss whenever you take a screenshot?
I don’t care what your website does, not one tiny bit. I care that the majority of websites are shit, and therefore the web platform should be as minimal and isoltated from the device as possible.
