GTA V has graphics card requirements that, I suspect, may be quite large compared to Twitter. Although it is worth noting that GPU acceleration in the browser is increasingly a thing: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-driver...

That being said, I don't think it addresses the problems with client side applications, although it may allow more complex ones.

Websites like Twitter are not render bottlenecked. Even a software rendered game from decades ago like doom is doing more on the screen than Twitter.
