I don't like Google Docs or 365 or reading online so, I guess, the appeal of a web app (for me) is non-existent.

As I keep saying, I'm talking about apps that only do what a website would do better. Cloud apps have their uses from time to time but I'm not advocating shoving functionality that's better done locally onto websites, I'm complaining about shoving functionality that's better done on websites into apps.
Stuff that's better local should be local, stuff that's better as a website should be a website. I should translate that to Latin and put it on my family crest.
BTW, All my remaining Chromebooks have been re-flashed with custom firmware and run GalliumOS native Linux. They make fine little Linux laptops. I tried the Chromebook web app model until the warranties expired. A small bit of messing to get it done once, then just years of use, no issues.
