It's clear AS is a great advancement in general computing, but every piece like this reads as "the hardware is amazing, and it's totally worth it to work around these arbitrary software restrictions".

This performance would've been available on iPads years ago if it wasn't for Apple's blanket ban on JIT and the likes.

Apple is one of those companies whose hardware I'd love to have if it wasn't for their software and general corporate decisions. Until I can run a proper version of Firefox on iPad, I'll have to stick with the objectively inferior hardware for the coming years.
