Yes, "updating all clients in one place" is what I meant by distribution. Windows distribution suffered for many years from problems like: - Very high latency - No support for online updates - Impossible to easily administer Cross platform was much less of a big deal when web apps started to get big. Windows just dominated in that time. Not many people cared about macOS Classic back then and desktop UNIX didn't matter at all. Browsers were nonetheless way easier to deal with than Windows itself. Agree that killing piracy was a really big part of it. Of course, you can implement core logic and shared databases with non-web apps too, and the web has a semi-equivalent problem in the form of ad blockers. |
