You didn't really have to. I guess I made my point badly. The fact that a "web browser" is somewhere in the chain of what is reading an application does not mean that the application itself has anything to do with "the web", so I think calling it a web app is confusing and pointless. And again, seems like a technicality.
> As for the second issue: users care because performance is worse, accessibility is by and large non-existent and platform features don’t work.
I agree with this in general. It doesn't mean it helps the user to call it a web app. Maybe we need a third, generic term for electron apps and others like them. A name that refers to the potential differences in performance, accessibility, and performance that users may notice?
Web app doesn't work for what you are talking about as far as I can tell. Of course this is an industry where terms and definitions change a lot.
