Why was service worker merged into create react app?

Created by: jantimon

I use create create app for teaching and I don't see the benefit in making stuff more complicated with adding so much advanced boilerplate code.

You probably know that service worker won't work on any iOS device (20% - 25% of all your users) and this is not about to change soon (maybe never).

Adding service workers by default is about to create very different experiences and bug behaviour depending on the device. It also makes it way more complicated to get a create react app to work offline for all platforms.

Please don't turn cra into something like a Windows98 computer where you had to remove AOL and other preinstalled stuff before being able to be productive.
