Most enterprise users can’t download and run an arbitrary binary due to numerous security controls and regulations. This is true even if that binary is signed - if it isn’t on an allow-list maintained by high priests it can’t be used.

The real world demands web apps in the enterprise even in 2021.

This is a poor reason in 2021 - app stores exist. Software developers have an obligation, as professionals, to present the costs of web apps vs binaries when developing new projects, the browser is not an operating system and has real limitations - as this project demonstrates.
