The author's point is not relevant: the App Store is not the preferred distribution method for most Mac apps.

Subjective…except you replied with your own subjective opinion? Video streaming apps don't really need a native UI: they don't run constantly, and they don't really need access to platform features. Sure, it's nice to sometimes have them be so, but the real focus tends to be on social media apps and productivity tools.

I mean, this depends on the apps you're using, but I don't think a lot of them will work well without work put into them to make them adapt to Chrome OS.

Because they can check a box in Xcode to make a Catalyst app out of their iPad app? It's not as hard as the article is trying to make it seem.
> Most Mac apps are distributed outside of the Mac App Store.

"Nobody seems". Subjective. Also sounds wrong to me since it goes against my personal experience.
> Yeah, no. Netflix makes “native” apps for a mind-boggling number of platforms, including set-top boxes and game consoles.

> No, it doesn’t: have you tried to scroll in one of those apps? That’s right, most of the time you have to drag your cursor across the screen.
Not my experience.
> No, because Slack already has an iPad app.
