I remember when Spotify 'upgraded' from a native to a js application on MacOS. It bricked my wife's computer. She never installed Spotify again. This is someone who doesn't usually care about software. She did care about that annoyance.

If Spotify bricked her computer, it was an issue with computer, not Spotify. It just so happened that you installed Spotify before the computer was bricked. If Spotify did that, you’d have heard stories of other Macs just completely dying out there if this was an actual issue.
