Have you heard about Artemis 2 astronauts discovering they have two Outlooks installed and neither is working?

How web bloat impacts users with slow devices:
Doing sloppy, biased resume screening is the •easy• part of HR. Generating lots of sort-of-almost-working code is the •easy• part of programming. Producing text that •sounds• generally like the correct words but is a subtle mixture of obvious, empty, and flat-out wrong — that’s the •easy• part of writing.

Ah, I see that Apple is using "very low adoption of home screen web apps" as a justification to entirely remove home screen web apps. Web apps, by the way, only have a very low adoption because Apple strategically half-implements broken versions of the open standards which define their behavior. Web apps behavior is well-specified and fully viable on other platforms, but... Apple wouldn't get a cut of the revenue.
This is kind of the entire goal of the DMA.
