They won’t be first-class as long as native UI still has the upper hand.
In which way does native UI have the upper hand, do you think? To me it seems like a lot of users are largely indifferent to this aspect (e.g. so many applications nowadays being Electron/browser based). If browsers keep gaining capabilities then it seems like this gap will get even smaller.
This battle is long won in favor of webtech in every realm but 3d/video editing/audio work/things that do gpu heavy lifting like game engines.
Outside those sort of spaces it’s hard to name a popular piece of software still on native that isn’t a wrapped webapp.
