I never have any installation or breakage issues with desktop apps and crashes are very few and far between nowadays.

In contrast so many websites track every single little action I do, waste massive amounts of energy on said tracking/showing ads/invading my privacy, and have a crap user experience chock full of dark patterns.

I’ll take desktop apps any day of the week, thanks.
