IMO convoluted JavaScript hacks aren't the solution to "cross platform development" I'd want to settle on. Do I really want my weather app to be running on top of the browser app? And as far as cross-platform compatibility goes, we're now at a point where websites tell you to please load them with Chrome for the "full experience", that just reminds me of when websites used to tell you to please use Internet Explorer. So much for "Apple mobile Safari is the new Internet Explorer", lol. Push notifications for browsers are a weird concept, anyway.

Walled gardens with one app per platform with 1000 different rules per platform so users don't spend more than 100ms to understand a layout shouldn't be the solution as well. Javascript apps being convoluted isn't even an objective observation.

It's yet another VM with more abstractions. What's the big deal?

I never had any significant app work only on one browser since years but even if this was a big problem, why make it worse?

I don't see the big deal? You are asked to allow it, no?
