I would say that the web does not work for most purposes unless I ignore the horrendous architecture that is imposed by using it.
I bet only 1% of developers these days have written a native or desktop app. If they had, there would be a gravitational pull moving away from defaulting to the web. I can hit any API from a Swing or WPF app and look damn good doing it with blistering performance.
It shows whenever project owners start asking developers to work around or prevent the use of browser based navigation like the back button.
The browser is like a hand grenade being rolled under a software project. The ultimate shitty dependency.
