I and many others really, really don't. I prefer webapps for almost everything except things that need full access to things like filesystems, hardware, etc.
I want my mail, calendar, chat, videos, etc. to fully live in my browser where I have consistent management of tabs, bookmarks, extensions, logins and so on. I also really, really don't want to install applications unless needed.

Sure, that might be nice, but it also might create the opportunity for webapps to require being put in the "webapp" pool, and I really like just being able to run them as a website once and then just close the tab.
I think what you are describing is mostly what we already have with PWAs?
When? You think the average consumer wants to download a facebook app on their laptop? To be negged with updates vs just visiting the site?
I buy that the HN crowd wants native apps.
Electron/Web let's you bypass all this shit, mostly. Also, the only reason why Linux desktop is actually useful to me is those webapps those people hate. It just makes sense to target web first.
I just wish there was more separation of website and webapp in the browsers. Two different things, in my opinion.
