I had my first hiking in a route without network connection one month ago, that was the first time I used the GPS without network by Organic Maps even I knew I could do it in the past. It showed me the possibility that some feature work well without network. It's a really good experience.
I wrote below comment when I read 20% of this article, like a person shooting everything down. But the more I read, the more I enjoy.
Thanks for pointing out that inherent physiological flaw in humans, it's hard to realize that, this is very meaningful.

Different opinions and more experience on current topic bring some value.

Apple is a closed ecosystem, multiple users feature is a opposite of that.
For example, it's hard to manage app store purchased Apps if it's easy to switch users in iPad. It's hard to manage iCloud sync when switching, it's also related with privacy.
I believe that employees in Anthropocs use CC to develop CC now.
AI really give much user ability to develop a completed product, but the quality is decreasing. Professional developers will be in demand when the products/features become popular.
First batch of users of new products need to take more responsibility to test the product like a rats in lab
Another reason that push to kill subscription is that many users just want software that actually works forever—no subscriptions, no ads. That’s why so many of us prefer one-time purchases. I’m definitely in that camp. I stick to local-first apps because I know they won't get worse over time.
I agree that software without a service model faces a tough market. Sometimes, users just want software that works indefinitely on their phones without subscriptions or ads. That’s why many people are big fans of one-time purchase apps. I’m one of them; I prefer local apps because I know the software won't deteriorate over time.
I think it depends on what percentage of apps need a website. Most users use apps on their devices, for me, I don't want to open another website when I need an App if it's avoidable.
I don't think model code is a big deal compared to the idea. If public can recognize the value of idea 11 months ago, they could implement the code quickly because there are so much smart engineers in AI field.
