The reason the web is as secure as it has been is because we are paranoid. The arguments browser vendors engage in are defined by *how* paranoid we are. No "developer code can do whatevs" browser has ever survived contact with the enemy.

"Installed" is overloaded. Today, that means giving up everything to everyone all the time. We pay far too much for convenience today (on nearly all OSes).

He did stipulate that we give up what we give up for convenience. Slack not a good example though - the desktop web app is wayyyyy good enough for me. It takes a lot more to get me to install a desktop app

You really think that the only reason people use installed desktop apps over web apps is ... they're ignorant?

No, of course not. There are huge gaps in capability. What I'm saying is that, as an industry, we have largely failed to mediate what remains in that gap responsibly.
