Best case, installing a non-MAS app involves downloading and extracting a zip file, mounting and then copying from a disk image, and then clicking through the "application downloaded from the Internet!" dialog.

Yes it's still much better than the typical Windows installer experience, but zero-install web apps are now setting the bar.

We're not talking about simple, zero install web apps here. We're mostly talking about Electron apps, which are "web apps" but still downloaded in the traditional sense though.
