I don't think there needs to be a discussion and central planning over whether there 'needs to be UX innovation'.

It however does make it easier which increases the chances of useful innovation occurring naturally.

When software moved first from the shell to the desktop and then from the shell to the browser it became less accessible and less interoperable.

You can't do what I'm suggesting already. You're thinking of sending data to backend APIs which is completely different from sending data into a visualisation function.
