This seems like it would apply equally to native and web.

You can run pretty much any native app from 1995 for any platform in emulation. Network requirements were uncommon outside of networking-specific apps.

You can render a web page from 1995 but you can’t run any server-side logic if you don’t have a copy of the server.
