Oh, no, I wasn't including "you can download packages" in this–I want it to be a fair comparison. Take a medium-weight Linux distribution and put it on a laptop and go on an island somewhere, if you want to tilt the comparison in the favor of Uber, which can of course still download assets from the internet and be backed by a server doing significant work for it. At that point I think it's still difficult to make the argument that Uber is somehow composed of more "screens" or "edge cases" that it needs to handle.
