> The curious thing about "native" GUIs, nowadays, is that most people spend their time using "desktop" apps that are just browsers in disguise,

I really feel like I live in some alternate universe sometimes. Most people around me use very classic desktop apps for their day-to-day work - blender, kicad, adobe illustrator, qt creator, telegram desktop, krita, ableton live, libreoffice ... none of these are browsers in disguise.

Most of those don't look particularly "native" either. Apps like Blender and Krita look like themselves and not like any OS desktop widget system.
