Framebuffers aren’t really a useful abstraction anymore. They can be implemented on top of webgpu anyway.

WebGPU is only in web browsers and WASM runs everywhere. There should be a standard cross-platform API for WASM GUI apps. Framebuffer is the lowest common denominator and <canvas> may be its implementation in web browsers. See also: https://medium.com/wasmer/wasmer-io-devices-announcement-6f2...

"Web" indicates where it started / was standardized, not where it runs. WebAssembly runs everywhere, WebGPU does too.
