The browser game has changed and become commoditized. Before they went towards being monoliths with everything from email, to apps and games, various services etc. Those parts are being usurped by stand-alone services and apps and need to longer be integrated into the browser.

Although doing advanced stuff is possible it seems we're coming to the realization that it's neither practical nor performant
