Anecdotally.
When I play youtube videos in my browser I'm getting about 1/3 of the view time before the battery is out compared to using mpv with youtube-dl on my laptop.
It's not just about being able to run it at all but run it efficiently.
These days anything on the web feels really sluggish and I miss the days when optimisation was a priority.
Also for me, I vastly prefer writing C++ code over html and the few times recently where I had to write webpages I used libwt[1] in C++.
It's almost like using QT but for html.
