What I don’t understand is why the Electron-based desktop application is so bad, but the web client isn’t. Somehow they can make a usable web app but their all-webview client is trash.

Right, they only let you know about possible outcomes, not the likelihood of any particular event happening during your dive. Russian roulette with 1 vs 5 chambers loaded have the same set of possible outcomes, but very different odds w.r.t
