Developing a server rendered (traditional) web app is one subjective order of magnitude easier than a desktop one (I did both professionally in the 90s). I believe that mobile is as hard as desktop but I have little direct experience there. SPAs are about as hard as desktop apps. I have some experience on that. Web apps are orders of magnitude easier to distribute and update. Hence customers moved to the web and developers followed. The only big market for desktop apps is games IMHO. Then if I build a web app for myself (I did) I can use it instantly on my phone, my tablet, my laptop. Should I build native apps? No thank you.
