I rather take advantage of the latest native games and APIs instead. It up to Khronos and friends to keep the Web APIs relevants, after all why did they kill plugins?

  Plugins were a security nightmare. Webgames are generally more about free to play and accessibility. No install or trust required. They are usually more casual games and must work on the widest possible selection of devices. That's what WebGL is all about. If your looking for a memory intensive behemoth of a game, it makes more sense to look at native as opposed to WebGL. There's nothing wrong with either approach, but the web lends itself to one more than the other.

    And then everyone went to mobile native games instead, leaving WebGL behind for 3D visualizations of online shops, Google maps and shader toy demos, basically.

      PWAs still have the advantage of avoiding app stores.

        It is not an advantage when they look like Amiga 500 or PS2 games released in 2021, while the phone is capable of Metal and Vulkan.
