Why do we - developers fall into this trap? The models for installation, security, privacy and updates on the desktop platforms have barely improved in twenty years, and they really needed some improvement. The models for installation, updates, payment, portability and development tools on the mobile native platforms all have major downsides as well. If you build and distribute your software as a web app, you can still do everything that matters for many purposes, you retain complete control of your own software, infrastructure and business model, and your app can work well with relatively little effort on a much wider variety of target platforms.
