Fully agree. I think this was also key to the macOS/OS X comeback but with web apps instead of the electron/flutter type stacks we have now. All those little specialized win32 apps for, like, dentists and accountants and navigation and filing expenses and so on moved to the web, which really eroded Windows’ lock in (obligatory citation of https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/06/13/how-microsoft-lost-the-api-war/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/06/13/how-microsoft-lost...). Electron and flutter type stacks have extended this trend I predict along the same lines a comeback for Java on the client. Java desktop apps used to feel heavy and awkward but these days they look downright svelte. No good mobile story - yet.
