"Web apps" should have been standard desktop apps with a network connection. You don't need a browser to use network protocols (and protocols died when HTTP stopped sending hypertext and started to send JSONs) or call APIs. Your OS manages the network stack.
We can complain how much we want, but the stream of shit, web-shit included, cannot be stopped or reversed. Brace yourself for more.

This is the way I lean too. So much of what web apps do is just reinventing the wheel of desktop GUI toolkits, only worse, because each one does it in its own way, rather than all having a consistent look and feel.
