There's one more point that we should probably consider: gemini is actually something clearly different from the web. It provides almost a completely different experience. We should treasure it. I mean, if all we do is trying to replicate the web (or being too similar to it -- first-citizen markdown would do it) why would someone use Gemini at all? At that point why don't use the web? It's sound harsh but how could you sell gemini if it was just a fake web? Being different is what can make people want to give it at least a try. Maybe they end up disliking it and going back to the web, that's fine. But why even bothering trying something when you know that's only fake?
