The web dying (i mean web browsers, html, javascript, etc) wouldn't be such a bad thing imo.
Look at what's happened to nearly every static content site in the past few years, they've become nearly unusable.
News companies can try to convince ppl to use their apps, but everyone else will continue to use social media apps to get most of their news like they already do anyway. Ppl wanting static content can use the minimal protocols like gemini, gopher, or even a simple markdown web browser, which are already better than most news sites.
