“Web” as an OS is overbloated, with decades of legacy junk. It was never meant to run applications, and yet it does.

The strong indicator for this is that there are only, what, 3 (two sharing common ancestor, so more like 2.5?) non-dead rendering engines, and it’s practically impossible to implement a new one? (Yes, a toy engine is possible, but anything practical is out of reach.)

My point is, you can’t introduce competition over this platform - it’s the same sort of a walled garden, just with different owners.
