Maybe! But also, as a user, I expect to do more and more in my browser.

I would find it strange, and probably switch to a competitor, if my preferred airline for example made me install (and keep updated) a desktop app in order to book a flight.

You do. Not everyone.

You know one thing I expect my browser to do that it has a hard time doing these days? Efficiently and correctly displaying text documents.

It has a hard time doing this because so many web pages think they need to be web apps and overthink things instead of leveraging the tools at their disposal in the browser.

Yes, if you're building a new Outlook or Google Maps in the browser it ought to be a web app.

If you're building the remaining 90% of use cases it should probably just be a web page with boring old tech. Add JS for spice if you'd like.

This seems like a strange example since being able to book flights in your web browser predates any Javascript "frontend framework".
