We had that, remember flash and java applets? Well, it wasn't that great.

  Sort of. But, was the problem the principle or the execution? Those "solutions" pre-dated the idea of building robust apps with native Web-idioms (e.g. SPAs). So, they tried to layer on an entirely different non-Web platform, including a completely new, non-browser native UI framework. And, we're now delivering entire frameworks to the browser to support, essentially, a kludgy VM-based approach that just shoehorns app concepts onto the HTML document model. So, what I'm suggesting is more of an in-browser hybrid. Assuming the only two approaches are Flash or React seems like an industry-wide failure of imagination.
