Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

If I'm understanding right, I believe Xbox Cloud Gaming and Geforce Now have used this. They get access to better video APIs by running as a home screen webapp, and aren't at risk of popping the address bar from touch confusion.

Voyager, a client for Lemmy, also installs as a webapp. Similarly, it doesn't show the address bar when you scroll up and down.

Mind you Voyager has a wrapped iOS app already. Posting from it right now.
