Break the app store monopoly, don’t make the web browser into a buggy leaky bloated mess.

And you can write iOS apps in objective c, swift, kotlin, jacascript, rust, ruby, and a few dozen other languages.

The web can be a competitor for the app stores, breaking that monopoly. It already did on desktop (where most users spend > 90% of their time in a browser)

And yes, you can write native apps in a lot of languages, but you can't choose how/where you distribute.

On the web, you can. It's built that way.
