> The web sucks. It’s the worst part of modern computing by far.

It does and I understand you're speaking in the context of desktop. But what about mobile apps?

I cannot imagine computing without web equivalent for mobile apps which often collect unnecessary data and on-average users are powerless to do anything about it.

Worst are the mobile only applications, Hence applications like Clubhouse can get away with using mobile number as identifier. Not that I miss using Clubhouse on web, But just an example of what no-web computing looks like.
