We have a plethora of native frameworks for building UI-s. Some of them are quite well designed. And yet the Web front-end has won against all the UI frameworks designed specifically to build UI-s.

That’s partly due to reach, though. The combination of the browser coupled with Electron eating away at those native UI layers means it unfortunately makes little sense to bother with alternatives, even if the alternatives are better.

I.e, the GP is trying to argue one thing and you’re kind of going down a different tangent.
