I never said all apps should be web apps. I just wrote "always believe in the web" and that you should make a web app if possible.
But I honestly think all your examples are soon to be quite possible with WebGL and WebAssembly. Most apps I use today are web apps so you can do a lot more than just display CRUD. That is simply BS from your part.
Some examples, I stream all my movies that I rent via youtube, I talk to people in real time via Discord, I download files with WebTorrent and I do all my coding in Visual Studio Code.
All of those are web apps and none of those would I consider only to be CRUD apps. Downvote all you want, it is still true that you can do a lot more than simply CRUD on the web.
There is even image editors coming up, sure they are a bit basic still but I think that is about to change: https://pixlr.com/x/
