Well for me "evolving" from a standard thing to a monster web app that require far more resources and offer far less flexibility have a name: involution... Of course I know that many are limited to webmails or obsolete, limiting and limited MUAs from the '90s but that's again involution. If you have notmuch/emacs or (neo)vim *{mutt,pine} you have a far more advanced computing environment that no web up can even try to mach. "stay behind" today's often means stay in a modern and colorful stone age instead of powerful technology.
