The end result of this seems to me like clicking on any link means I’m going to download 50 MB before I can see any content?


It wouldn't be 50MB. Five maybe. That's not that unusual today already anyway.


How are you measuring this? Like, I would expect someone to want to ship e.g. WPF or something into the browser as their UI toolkit. Why would this fit in 5 MB?


So... you prefer the end result we got, with there being only ~1.75 browsers in existence--and only 1 that truly matters to developers--where ~1.66 of them are owned by companies that would prefer to implement this specification? :(


I think, given your history, is that what you’re looking for is apps but distributed on the web. However I believe there is also a market for app clips of sorts that are meant to be more lightweight and have some default APIs available to them, for cases where people don’t actually want the overhead of apps.
