It's worth noting that a local-only offline-first web app shifts the load of storing and managing user data entirely onto the user themselves. That's a huge load of responsibility taken off the software supplier's shoulders and it eliminates the entire cost and complexity of building and maintaining Cloud based data management infrastructure. And that's a pretty great option to have on the table for both users and software makers. I'll also note that these apps consume almost no network bandwidth. With Service Workers implemented they barely speak to your server. The amount of bandwidth that can be potentially saved has got to be pretty huge.
