- swipe on Tinder w/o ever having to install or uninstall it
- browse code on GitHub
I want as much stuff as possible to be on the web. I dislike having to install applications locally.
On a less self-centered level, the web helps small businesses succeed. Do startups have the time to develop 3 different applications? I don't think so. The power of the web allows people who don't need to be developing native apps to avoid duplicating their work.
The web seems extremely important to small business innovation.
As for "large" / "bloated" sites. Features like new CSS properties seem unlikely to add more bloat or degrade accessibility.
If we left the web as hypermedia / documents only we would have killed its potential (figma / repl.it / so many others wouldn't have existed).
