Yup. And we had to ship/get users to get apps. Hence many shortcuts we didn’t like
Abandoning desktop is silly, just as ignoring mobile is. There's still a great opportunity to differentiate on desktop, but it doesn't matter if the mobile experience sucks or is nonexistent (a great desktop browser needs to sync with a mobile one).

“Abandoning horse carriages is silly”. Principally correct but maybe we can agree that desktop is not where the future is headed

I don't see any evidence that workplace desktops are disappearing, even while I do see a lot of evidence that people are rapidly abandoning desktops for mobile for personal use. In the long term, who knows. Maybe something else will replace workplace desktops ultimately.

To say nothing of the fact that plenty of web apps will be written primarily for desktop, enabling users to do their jobs from the desktop. Billing reconciliation, payroll, etc. Myopic to imagine people shifting *all* their web usage to the 5" screens they carry in their pocket
