Internet years ago:
Site optimised for internet explorer 4.1, resolution 800x600
To view this website you need macromedia flash
This is the first thing I thought of as well. It's never been "just use what you want". It got better for a while as JavaScript and CSS normalized. Now it's trash again.
Honestly, this was the reality. Half the shit couldn't even be accessed without flash. Does nobody remember the flash on mobile drama?
Flash games were still awesome though.
Now I want to play Robot Unicorn again.
Main issue with flash was that it potentially could have been used to circumvent the App store on the iPhone. Or at least from what I've heard.
Or Silverlight. None of these lockin attempts are new and they always failed. Might just take a while.
Companies don't like being beholden to other companies.
800x600?! Thats way too much
