&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The answer: This is a classic battle of using the opponent&amp;rsquo;s own spear to attack their shield.&lt;/strong&gt; Google abandoned its previous indirect strategies of using the Chrome browser or Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), opting instead to use Apple&amp;rsquo;s most favored language, Swift, and adhere to native macOS frameworks (like AppKit, SwiftUI) to build an application optimized for Mac from the ground up. This is not just a technical choice but a strategic signal: Google aims to compete for user mindshare and system-level integration rights in desktop AI with the highest standard of &amp;ldquo;localization.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
