A modern app needs to be able to run in datacenters and render on my GPU (whether desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone). That’s how and where our capacity is evolving.

If X dies, I assume we’re going to end up with Javascript or Wasm frontends to everything.

Maybe you'll end up with those frontends. I won't. Part of the point for me with my rewrites of essential parts of my computing experience is that I control an increasing proportion of my stack, and that proportion will keep increasing.
