Agree wholeheartedly (and I used to work on Safari/WebKit).
Cross-platform app frameworks have never been a panacea, but I think there may be a middle ground to be found between the web and truly native apps. Something with a shallower learning curve, batteries-included updating and distribution, etc. that isn’t the web or Electron.
That said, I worry that it’s too late. Even if such a framework were to magically appear, the momentum of the complex beast that is the web platform will probably not slow.
