I believe that most frustrations we've got is in the fact that we are trying to handle two distinct tasks by single tool.
1. Web as a source of information. Super Wikipedia as you wish. Mostly for us - readers.
2. Web as a functionality delivery tool - access and interaction with applications.
As we know any universal tool is not that good for the particular task as specialized one.
And that is the main problem I think.
At early stages we had semistatic HTML(3.2)/CSS(2.1) that was quite adequate for task #1 (reading, consuming information). And we had Java applets for applications.
These two were more or less orthogonal and could evolve independently so they still be specialized tools optimal for the tasks they serve.
Hey, we had Android with Java UI... so technically things like VSCode or Google Docs could be just Java [or Kotlin or whatever] applications inside browser if someone really wants that ...
