This simple fact was true in 2007 and it still is true in 2022: you can't even animate a list item on the web without incurring significant performance costs. Slack eats 20% CPU on an M1 Mac to display a single animated emoji.
Web has never been, and never will be a platform for apps. This has nothing to do with "devs vs. users". Users want slick performant apps that don't destroy your battery life. Web cannot and will never be able to offer that.
Because the core of the web is, was and will for ever be a system to display static text and images in a single rendering pass.
