Yeah, the main problem web apps were meant to solve was the delivering of a client and keeping that client up to date on the desktop. This was during the era where most client software was delivered on disk in a shrink wrapped box. But shortly after that software like iTunes essentially solved the problem. This is borne out by the fact that most users don't have a problem installing or keeping up to date the browser which is required for all these web apps. And of course there's phones, phablets, tablets, chromebooks and the like where it's essentially all client apps.
