Maybe not for those cases, but a lot of apps aren&#x27;t as demanding as those. So I don&#x27;t think you can say in general that the web can&#x27;t compete with desktop apps, maybe only just for specialist cases. The web is good enough that it didn&#x27;t stop Facebook becoming a billion-dollar company. Mobile is a different matter, but think on desktop how many services are fine to work web only on desktop with no desktop app (especially if they have a mobile app).
