Why don’t companies build a browser app to get around Apple 30%

Question

Companies like Spotify, Twitter and others could get together and build a browser app that provides Native API access using Capacitor JS. They let their own apps be deployed with it. No need to pay the Apple Tax because it&rsquo;s a browser, just like Chrome.

I think the biggest blocker is the distribution cost of it, the unit economics may not match the thought to build it themselves
