I completely agree with you, I'm going to copy part of another comment I made ----- probably 15-20 years ago (maybe more?) I made a prediction that I still think will come true. The OS will become the "browser" and applications will run directly on the OS and will access local resources through standardized interfaces. WebAssembly and things like WebGL are already moving us in that direction. Honestly HTML5 was the first time I recognized standard updates as moving us towards that reality with things like localStorage, etc. I honestly think if someone more imaginative had the helm at MS when the cloud started getting big they would have eaten google's lunch by leveraging their desktop dominance into the web. Instead they did inane things like display websites on the desktop (win98 IIRC). -----
