Technologically, Apple are far behind. But they're trend setters in terms of the fact that their big marketing and outsized mind share make people want those features.

It's dumb, but that's where we are. iOS is essentially the IE6 of the mobile space at this point, holding back real advancements until Apple figures out a way to make a buck off them.

The original comment was

it will kill PWAs

like if Apple STOPS doing it then everyone else will stop doing it. Like when Apple stopped having 3.5mm jacks everyone else stopped having 3.5mm jacks. Oh wait...

As I said, they're big spenders, not trend-setters.
