Thread with screenshots: In America, mainstream native desktop (macOS or Windows) are in decline, and developers increasingly opt for building web apps or Electron apps. However, web apps vs. native desktop apps is a completely different story in companies such as China.

I'm surprised that there would be _more_ fully native apps in China. I wonder if it's more affordable to hire engineers there so having a single cross-platform + web tech solution has fewer benefits.
That thread is three years old but I’m guessing it still holds?
