It's not just loss in performance, it's also loss of your data and control over that data.

This is not inherent to web apps though, is it? Free software web apps without vendor lock-in exist.

They do, but they are the exception, not the rule. The bulk of the free software that I use I use locally, in fact I don't think I use even a single package that is a free software web app that is operated by some third party and if it were then I probably would try to find an alternative.
