Extra telemwtry for sure
Why would I want a ripoff of termux that I am 100% sure will be abruptly and unceremoniously canceled or effectively abandoned at some point in the not to distant future?
Also this quote is hilarious when you think about it "Although a lot of work can be done in a web browser these days" since by any reasonable framing of the last 5 years, corporations have been aggresively dismantling the near universal utility of the web and web browsers in favor of broken corporate silos and apps.
Google has probably done more to destroy the web browser as a platform for general computing than anybody else, the idea that anything other than antitrust busting is going to make google give a shit about genuinely providing this kind of utility is honestly hilarious.
