Apps running locally can also be subject to security issues. What you're trying to say is probably "apps not using untrusted input". If an app takes no input all, I guess we could say that security isn't an issue, but there could still be safety issues.

It’s a pretty good solution for creating live mockups. A designer on my team came back eight hours after a meeting with a fully vibe coded, multi-page interface. I was honestly blown away. I had no idea this was the state of what’s possible with these tools.

Was it a real website? No, but it’s a live mockup way better than any Figma mock or rigid demo-ware.

Oh I'd never argue that. Cloud stuff is truly beyond the complexity I'd get involved with at the moment.

Also design. All the vibe coded apps always look like absolute ass.

I could say the same for lots of non-vibe-coded apps. Have you considered that modern vibe-coding can easily produce apps that look better than anything from 20 years ago thanks to all the modern frameworks? Heck, one-shotting a GUI or website will yield better-looking results than anything published by Debian or FreeBSD, lol.
