I fully agree that Liquid Glass is almost impossible to replicate with browser technology without using 3D shaders. But I’m curious to know your opinion about why apps that rely on web views are inferior for users (apart from the above reason). I certainly think Apple thinks they are inferior, but I'm not sure how devs and users feel about it.

Webview apps are limited to 60fps so they feel sluggish on iOS. Running them in safari with the 120fps dev option enabled they can feel like native, but then feel laggy when bundled into their own app.

I suppose it's only the bad ones that I notice, but I can definitely get annoyed by UI that's janky, choppy, or close-but-not-quite native. It's jarring.

Does it matter at that point? Seriously asking.
