A browser also has the baked in expectation of you interacting with hypertext. A video game of this caliber you are discussing is typically entitled to: - have a dowload and installation process that might span over say 20min or more - load slowly, because it needs to push a ton of assets through - demand a ton of resources such CPU, GPU, threads, memory etc. to achieve amazing graphics and simulation - being the primary foreground process or possibly the only one None of these things apply to the typical web. Quite the contrary: most web devs would get fired or ridiculed if they demanded these resources. So I assume that browsers optimize for the typical usage, which is hypertext.
