Actually Windows was one of the first to follow upon this idea with Active Desktop and packaged Web applications.

I guess you would be better off with SteamOS then.

We still have that in the form of PWAs. I don't mean the web "runtime"/webview, but all the cruft that Windows ships with... the endless ads, multiple UI and config layers, Office trial, the stupid games, OneDrive, Skype/Teams, the endless notifications, Bing everywhere... it's an over-monetized in your face nightmare on every fresh boot.

If not for DirectX and Windows-only games, I'd totally ditch it. Maybe when Proton gets there.
