Have you tried running gRPC in the browser? How was the experience?

I have. It wasn't great, but it worked, and that was years ago. Is that the reason, though? tRPC generates a nicer client when targeting the browser?

Yes, this is my understanding. If the browser client and the server are both written in typescript, tRPC has a very attractive story of bridging the two. No protobufs though; so whatever performance wins gRPC brings, are absent from the tRPC story.
