It's because people want cross-platform apps and web is the easiest way to do it. Yes, you have Flutter, KML or Qt but those are often hard to work with (looking at you, Flutter) or it's difficult to find devs that can work with them. You choose web (JS/wasm) and you have plenty of devs familiar with the tools and you can support all the platform easily. I'm using Tauri for my personal projects because it's fun and easy. I could use Qt but I don't want to work with C++ or Python, at least not in my spare time. If anyone can recommend me a nice framework supporting Linux and Android and using modern language I might switch. I haven't found one.
It's because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.
