Arguably, we're already there. I stopped pretending the web wasn't going to be the common platform of the future when WebUSB dropped and I learned you can root a Nintendo Switch from Chrome OS. Without the Linux part.
If you build something today, without too many resources backing you up, and you want it to run anywhere, you build something that resembles a PWA with Electron wrappers. (resembling because it could also be something like Flutter).
