It is to some people - like me. Electron gives us that option at a low cost to the developers. You can use the web version. I will use the desktop version. :)

Perhaps at a higher cost to end users.

A lower cost actually to end users typically.

Cost can be quantified on many levels, including performance and quality.

Hence, I said "typically".

Then "typically" it comes at the cost of performance and quality.

And a lower cost, which consumers have chosen. Quality is debatable.
