Because Windows doesn’t support OS-wide text formatting/manipulation like macOS does.

The system already existed in macOS so it was easy enough to plug writing tools into it, but to do the same in Windows would mean completely rewriting how Windows handles text display and editing (and no doubt causing an avalanche of compatibility issues with old apps).

Onward isn't licensing every single one of Microsoft's computer peripherals. Some classics, like the Intellimouse or its modern iterations, for example, don't make the Incase reboot list.

That sucks - the Intellimouse Pro from a few years ago was a fantastic mouse.

TLDR: the ‘novel technique’ is PWAs

It’s definitely making their job harder on the face of it, but it also differentiates them from other ad companies, so I guess they’re betting on that being a draw for potential clients.

Advertising isn’t going anywhere, so investing in/supporting ways to more ethically serve ads without harvesting private data seems like a good thing?

Each to their own, but I personally can't imagine having to replace a faulty product 5 times and still wanting to use it

Can they not just send a DMCA takedown notice to the host of that web server?
