But your comparison is also not really fair, since you assume everything runs and is stored on your local computer. This is not the case anymore at all.
Plus, the web browser is probably the first application that is started by a user.
Following applications all run in my browser:
- email
- video conferencing with screen sharing
- (persistent) chatting
- Office applications (word processor, spreadsheet, ...)
- photo storage
- games
- development sandboxes
- ...
In fact most Apps I have on my phone could just be PWA's.
I'm not saying we should all go web, but I'm saying that most things where you want to use electron, you could let it run on the web.
