Hell, even Google Docs suite is just one big Canvas these days, last I checked.

Yes, and it has to recreate a lot of what a browser does (given semantic code) to preserve keyboard-only operation and usability with a screen reader.

I can't believe how many people seem to be excited about this whole WebAssembly Bring Your Own Everything stuff.
Every time there's an article about some kind of "Here's a really simple core to build stuff from scratch" technology people seem to get really excited.
I was hoping we'd be going the other way and building web tech into OSes!
It's also the new flash since like flash it's just a bucket of pixels. Like when say VisionOS comes out and their browser has made tweaks to all the HTML form elements so they work well with finger gestures in the air but of course here this page is just a block of pixels so it will have the wrong interface for the device.
