It counts whether the platform makes it easy to use and promotes it in a way so that average users actually use it.
If I create a native Windows app and link people the .exe to try it out, approximately 0% of people who run it are going to run it in a securely sandboxed way. If I create a web app and link people it to try it out, approximately 100% of people who run it are going to run it in a securely sandboxed way.
Furthermore, some people will specifically avoid trying out the .exe I send them because they don't trust me fully with everything on their computer. As a developer that wants to show off things I make, I don't want this obstacle to exist. If I make a web app instead, I know it's more likely people will try it out.
