IIRC you can use fusion 360 in the browser now?

WhatsApp is of course available on the web. I'm a regular user of play.spotify.com, works great. Figma is a great design tool available only on the web.

I do get your point, but there are more and more things moving to the web as more and more standards are being published (if you think this is a good idea is another discussion).

Modern html and CSS is by far the least complex GUI framework I've used. And it is (somewhat) cross platform.

Wow, if modern html and CSS is the least complex GUI framework you've used, you need some exposure. That combo is uber-complex, and the tool sets are college degrees all by themselves. It is a flat out joke how the developers of today have added complexity everywhere they could.
