Not sure how it can be easier to use than already supereasy web app, notifications work same via browser and you don't need to install anything, these are really no arguments for desktop app.

If you would say desktop app can do voice/video calls which you actually use (I don't, not gonna open laptop with closed lid and external display for that) I can understand using the desktop app, but for someone who doesn't need voice/video calls on computer and is fine with better camera in phone there is no benefit in installing additional dedicated app.

Not quite sure how you can’t understand that not everyone is you. I also prefer the desktop app.

I understand it very well, that's why I asked for explanation why/how is desktop app easier to use than already very easy web app and how are notifications in desktop app different from web app. But thanks for your valuable input which provided me with definite explanation, although I didn't ask for it and I asked user I was conversing with.
