So what google have done for the web with AMP, apple is doing to apps with clips?
I feel like this could be achieved with better HTML5 support from the iPhone and the promotion of light PWA instead.

In your PWA / QR code utopia, after someone sticks a few bogus QR codes on parking meters, scooters and bike rentals etc that point to their phising PWA - trust is going to be toast.
Seriously - chrome getting rid of subdomains used to trick users (wellsfargo.securedomain.com) in the browser bar also generated lots of complaints - and also helps users.
Is this just a HN thing? Screw the 1B users who can't be bothered to become experts on every weird scam / original headers review etc? Because it get's a bit tiring on literally every thing that google / apple do.
Browsers already protect people against malicious sites.
You never saw Chrome warn you about it?
We actually already know browser warnings are not enough because there continue to be incredible attack volumes in this area with malicious websites as landing pages.
Although I also wish Apple would put more than the bare minimum of support behind PWAs, from their perspective App Clips still have to go through the App Store vetting process, and therefore are (ostensibly) a safer choice than just granting more OS-level capabilities to PWAs.
