@jensimmons I know of multiple people who lost their jobs as a result of the nonsense PWA messaging that preceded this release.

It’s really difficult to describe what a stain this has been on Apple's reputation. Impossible for there to be any trust there that this won’t just happen again at some point in the future with no notice and no consultation.
