But there's no reason for that to happen.
There's nothing stopping anyone from publishing a primarily text-based site if they want, or an "app" site. The web isn't a zero-sum platform, there's room for everything, and no objective definition of what separates "documents" from "apps" to base such a division on to begin with.
No one wants the web to be forked except for people on HN who wish everything done with it since the 1990s could be sent into quarantine where they can't see it, but this isn't something the public wants, or that anyone is working towards.
