A Master's degree is two-ish years, so about two person-years of effort. Once you're looking at even a small team, a desktop app would often have far more effort put into it. Instead of 'a desktop app', I think the better comparison is to note that this is a FizzBuzz program. By design, it doesn't do any useful or algorithmically complicated work. It's a canonical example of a trivial program. If you imagine putting Master's thesis levels of effort into every trivial part of a desktop application, then you'd start to outline the full scope of the problem. Rather than a "Master's thesis" effort, you'd be looking at something like a full, crash research program like the Apollo project.
