Right. And in 1991, applications achieved much more of the potential performance and capability due to the available hardware than web apps do today. So going back to 1991 is an improvement in that respect. The rise of the web has been a trade-off - well-known and significant benefits have been realized, but at the cost of devolution and dead-ends in areas like the developer experience and UI flexibility. (As an example, think about all the reasons why World of Warcraft is not a web app.)
