We don't do desktop computing like we did then. Most of what was separate applications then are now done in-browser: it's like running a virtual machine inside your OS.

I don't need to know that what I'm using is Edge/Chrome/Firefox any more than I need to know that what I'm using is Windows/etc.



This argument would make more sense if it wasn't in a thread talking about all the other apps besides the browser that does this.


My point is that there rarely are other 'apps' in use.


That assertion is absurd.


It is not novel to point out that more things are webapps or Electron.


"More things" than what? And novelty has nothing to do with it. This is about validity.
