On Android/iOS you install apps, which is the same as what I meant above by installing.
QubeOS: heard of it. It's multiple isolated linuxes together essentially. Do you really think one wants to install software on QubeOS to view a mathematical demonstration or a simple game from the web? The issue is simply the effort of installing vs just opening link and viewing it.
I don't know UWP, snap or Flatpak. Do they allow you to open a link and run something interactive immediately without installation? If so, great.
We need something that allows you to open a link and have something interesting running immediately.
Again, it's sad that this same interactivity is also invading simple textual articles that should be just simple plain text, but that is a problem of those articles, not of the existance of JS.
