I can imagine the likes of Citrix and MS RDP benefiting from this. Having worked from home since last year I have the impression that the Workspace App is the most 2003 software I've seen in current year. You have all these free gaming apps doing video and audio streaming on real time through a browser while I'm using a super expensive system that requires me to install an extension and at least 3 background services in my machine. What the hell?

There is an HTML5 Citrix client and it's a more terrible experience in every way. I hear there is an official HTML5 RDP client now too that is probably the same. Even newer "cloud-native" entrants like Amazon WorkSpaces have their own thick clients, for a reason.

  To be honest I have no quarry against RDP. You download a sandboxed app from the store and just use it. Meanwhile Citrix offers an installer that puts 3 services on your computer and then you need to run another another installer to be able to use conferencing. Why does shadow.tech and even self hosted Rainway can offer a seamless gaming desktop experience on a simple client or browser while billion dollars Citrix lots of services running on background?
