@thatguygriff Yeah. I know that struggle.
The worry I had in that post is more about the competitiveness of the web when making productivity apps and the like. There is a pretty hard limit to what sort of features a web app can practically provide without uploading your data to the cloud.
For example, if you wanted to build a note-taking app, Apple provides a lot of tools for building a privacy-respecting native note-taking app that syncs across devices but on the web you're almost always going to end up having to upload the notes to the cloud if you want to be useful.
