      You know that “no app” and “not using the app” is the exact same user experience right? So you can just not use the app and stop complaining about it existing.

      Idk who you think you’re speaking for, but I don’t think it’s as many people as you think lol.

      Besides an electron app you don’t use and no app are literally the same thing, so why choose nothing?

                The same reason why webapps are a bad idea. We’ve built monstrous browser engines to do fancy stuff to pages in a bonkers language in a sandbox, and the resulting abomination is neither pages nor apps. And now we’re like: we have so much expertise in shuffling page parts around to look like they’re apps, let’s build “real” apps out of them. It’s like rejecting headphones and towing a car with broken windows around with you just in case you’ll wanna listen to music: it technically works, but makes negative sense.
