You're right, but these sorts of browser apps will continue to be made because of the convenience.

The cheapest browser-app integrity check that I know of is shipping the dev code, complete with source maps. Allow anyone to read and debug what is going on inside your app.

That doesn't work either, because the app users read can be totally different than the app that ends up running the next time the DOM updates itself in the background.

See? "Fun" problem.
