Why Local-First Apps Haven't Become Popular?

Funny thing is that the article gives an example where "last write wins" is quite clearly a bad solution.

Balance = 100 A: balance = 120 B: balance = 80

Clearly, these are transactions, and it doesn't matter in which order they're applied, but it does matter that they're both executed. End balance should be 100, not 80 or 120.

I was thinking about this overnight and maybe my beef is the article feels like it's written as a solution to "offline", when really it's a much narrower solution.

This solution doesn't nearly move us toward making local-first apps more popular, which was nominally the theme.
