Web pages mostly aren't applications though. Like people will sometimes post links to corporate engineering blogs here that require javascript (Uber comes to mind). It's purely a document; there's no interactivity at all. Making it an "application" is just incompetence (it's more expensive to develop and gives a worse user experience). It might be true that applications actually are web pages now (e.g. Slack, WebEx), but I almost never encounter web pages that are actually applications.
