The benefits of web based apps in the majority of cases I would say far outweigh any other issues. Right now I am working on a side project in Flutter, it is in the very early stages but the ability to target multiple platforms, web, multiple desktop environments, multiple mobile platforms from a fairly singular code base is rather interesting. This makes good commercial sense, in practical thinking speeds up development and release. Yep issues may arise. I would not hesitate to say that for many users the average users that web based apps, either browser based or electron or whatever are suitable in a lot of cases. There are some cases where this does not make sense currently, like computational (although), video/audio editing, etc. However look at tools like Google Colab where machine learning is being pushed server side because of the power of 3rd party infrastructure. The web just makes sense in a lot of cases. Ease of development, maintainability, cost, UI, accessibility (availability).
