You should run away from React Native Desktop screaming. It's built on top of WinUI 3, and inherits all it's problems, while also being dramatically slower. Almost all functionality requires writing C++ code, and communicating between C++ and JS is a huge pain in the ass. Use QT instead.
And if you think using it will let you port your app to other platforms, think again. There's no drop-in compatible equivalent of RNW for Linux, and the version for Mac is even worse than the Windows version.

I hope this is successful. Fake books are flooding online stores and if this was widely adopted I would certainly refuse to buy anything without it.
But unfortunately I think that's unlikely. Most authors will likely never hear about this. I assume there will be some kind of fee to participate, but this will discourage people from using it. And even if it takes off, the fake book authors will just slap it on anyway as I'm not sure what enforcement mechanism would be effective.
No AI period. As soon as you feed your writing into the slop machine it starts telling you how to make it more like slop (I know someone who's cowriting a book with ChatGPT - this is exactly the result.)
I'd rather read things with typos and bad grammar than read something copyedited by AI.
You can use KeePassXC for passkeys. It will generate completely unidentifiable public keys, and save the the private keys to a portable KDBX file.
It's unfortunate that passkeys have been such a disaster. Attestation should never have been part of the spec, it should never have been presented as a replacement for hardware U2F keys, and a private key file format should have been defined on day 1. But there is useful functionality buried under all the noise and confusion.
High PPI screens have been around for 10 years or so, and they still cost about twice as much as a standard PPI screen the same size.
Put yourself in the shoes of the average computer purchaser: Would you rather buy a high PPI monitor, or two standard PPI monitors? To me this is a no-brainer.
You have your timeline confused. When Microsoft bought Mojang, the only version of Minecraft on PC was Java Edition. It wasn't under the next year that they released the Windows 10 Edition (which is what became Bedrock on PC).
The pattern you're talking about in [2] isn't by choice, it's a result of blue states paying more federal tax. The decisions about who pays federal tax and how much are made by Congress.
