They won't though. All you see in web dev tools is the UI as all the actual clever stuff is still hidden away from you on servers.

With an increase of client-side apps combined with server api's this is less the case, though, isn't it?

I can imagine quite a few 'web apps' that won't try to actively obfuscate how their client app operates. In those cases having browser-based development tools makes it much easier to tinker with and inspect the app...

Well, with most single-page apps, bulk of the logic is running on the client, with the backend just exposing a REST API.
