> same with apple - "now we'll ignore user-scalable=no and screw every responsive webapp out there"

Maybe because 90% of responsive webapps would be better implemented as standard html websites which would improve performance and help preserving battery.

90% according to whom?

According to me. Maybe even higher than 90%. There are a few applications where you need a single-page app. Google Docs is an example or websites that integrate a messenger (e.g. Facebook). For the rest, SPA are a waste of resources and work worse with slow internet. Reddit is a prime example. UX has deteriorated since they switched to loading everything dynamically (again, only me as a source) with no good reason to implement it that way.

what the hell are you on about now? responsive web doesn't mean hulking javascript monsters automatically.

responsive web also doesnt mean youd need to disable zooming
