It doesn't matter because when a webapp crashes, it doesn't bring down your whole machine (or these days, even your whole browser).

The killer feature is effective per-app sandboxing.

What? Native apps crashes stopped bringing down the machine decades ago. Sure there's the occasional bug in the OS (= kernel and system services), but browsers have bugs too.
