I wish it wasn't true either.

Seeing a semi-technical acquaintance use in-browser software for daily productive work hurts my programmer's soul. It's alright for some light things, like vacation planning, but remote desktop or an IDE...

Then there's that other scourge of Electron-like apps with gigantic memory budgets and all. I have resigned to throwing more hardware at it when I can't guarantee a lighter replacement (i.e. in a work setting):

All my productive systems have 32GB RAM and 8+ threads now and with browser, Teams, Outlook, IDE and dev containers the air's getting thin again :/

I think I would rather have a bloated (but reasonably fast and featureful) browser, than clog my computer with native apps for every app out there. Most of the apps doesnt need much power anyway.

I really dont want to see a repeat of phone apps for every company I interact with.

Most "apps" including "webapps" shouldn't be interactive programs to begin with but a web of documents you can explore using a tool made to your specifications and noone elses.
