Aside: when did Apple start putting out polished PR pages like this to "market" features to developers? I feel like this year is the first time I'm seeing them.
There definitely wasn't anything like this push for when Core Data or Ubiquity came along, even though they both would have greatly benefited from it. The only pages for individual features I recall pure consumer-focused "explainers" of the benefits+implications of things like Gatekeeper, iCloud, or Time Machine.
Is this just because this year's WWDC is online? Were they doing this sort of "hey, pay attention, this exists now, you should try building with it" PR in person before?
Apple probably knows that developers aren't the ones making the decisions on whether to implement app clips or not, product managers or the developers clients are.
