Rather missing the point that we've replaced much native software with thin clients running JS in a browser or pretending to be an app. Whether it needs to be or not. For many reasons - multi device support, convenience, data harvesting, lock in. Performance isn't something we generally get now everything becomes network constrained rather than CPU or IO. So yeah it's being fixed because it has to be, because it's a terrible experience in comparison. I don't deny that often the convenience far outweighs the loss of performance and latency. You can't avoid the fact it's heavily skewed the market against those needing native power on the desktop. If you're doing things that need that, the last 5 years have been rather underwhelming progress wise.
