Browsers are essentially operating systems, and can allow replacing desktop apps with web apps. I mean, I don't use a stylus, but if I did a lot of graphics stuff and liked using a stylus, but I couldn't use a stylus within one brand of browser, suddenly the browser is far less useful to me. Same goes for other things. WebGl is very rarely useful for me. But if I liked playing (or developing) games, it would be awesome if the browser allowed that sort of thing rather than forcing developers to build for a specific native platform. So an immense amount of work has gone into webGl, even though it appeals to a fairly small subset of users right now. I'd guess you could imagine desktop apps that use a midi keyboard. Like, ones to learn piano, or otherwise do interesting musical stuff. I mean, they have WebAudio, but its usefulness is limited if they can't do anything with a keyboard. In my case, I develop a web app that does music stuff. (and it actually has to be a web app because of the way it uses YouTube) It's disappointing that I have to say "Chrome/Blink only." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rytYcOUZH30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rytYcOUZH30
