Don’t be that pessimistic, most user had to install the Twitter and TikTok apps. The fediverse experience is already quite OK if you have a dedicated client but the problem is that not everyone does, which is why we need browser support; people are tired of “wOrKs bEtTeR iN ThE aPp” even if it’s true this time. A dedicated URL scheme will automatically associate Fediverse links with the aporopriate app. There are still other issues such as hit-and-miss cross-platform compatibility, no API for retrieving the list of federated instances and lack of errors if the source and/or destination instance block each other.
Grandmas can easily install Cookie Clicker and Angry Bird and DownloadMoreRam and anything else they find on the internet with quite an ease. Are you telling me the average internet person is noticeably less capable than a grandma?
