Depending on the license, how is this legal?

Plenty of java software is used by regular users. Minecraft is incredibly popular and one of the few games that (used to) run natively on mac.

So? The users paid for a machine that is supposed to "just work"

If something works on OS release version 1 then it should still work on OS release version 2.

Or in apple vernacular, it should just work.

PMTiles is great for a static background. You can easily do a layer on top with geojson like you say, or even just by storing your own data in postgres and using postgis ST_AsMVT to turn it into a vector tile layer. Stick a cachebuster in the URL & a http cache in front and you can call it a day.

Everyone is capable of learning else they'd have died as a toddler, or any time since when they tried to cross the road.

Correct, we don't have AI yet.

AI has always meant Artificial Intelligence. Intelligent and capable of learning, like a person.

LLMs are not AI.

> Ideally developers could let the user know their caps lock key is activated.

That would be up to the User Agent (the browser), not the website.

Maybe I don't want to have to worry about if a PWA is good enough, and will remain good enough?

> Proper support on all platforms. No point working on PWAs that have janky tooling (reason: see previous sentence) when they're only going to work decently on Android devices anyway.

If you need it spelled out for you:

* WebUSB

* WebBLE

* WebSerial

* WebGL

* Many more standards Apple refuses to implement because it would let developers break free of their walled garden

Without being able to target apple devices why would I, or anyone, bother using these technologies and invest in their tooling? Just make a native android app with quality tooling that's been around for a decade and be done with it.

Try reading my post again, maybe? The tooling is pretty janky because no one does this yet. No point to torture yourself with janky tooling when you only get to target android anyway...

It shouldn't be a problem if you only train on legally acquired data. You will know the authors name and can contact them if you so wish.

Proper support on all platforms. No point working on PWAs that have janky tooling (reason: see previous sentence) when they're only going to work decently on Android devices anyway.
