Everything is online.
Who even needs to run local apps anymore?
Edit: My point is -native linux versions don’t exist in many/most cases. I was making a point that a web version of some app accessible to Linux users is better than nothing at all.
What? Lmao.
I was using Linux for many years - I assure you no one was writing Linux apps bro.
So I’ll gladly take a webpage as a service. Windows /Mac devs can keep doing what they were doing, I don’t care as long there is a web version.
Anyone who wants to own what they create and doesn’t want their work stolen for some startup’s plagiarism engine. Anyone who is interested in privacy. Anyone who wants a consistent user experience. Anyone who wants to be exempt from sinister targeted advertising. Anyone who is worried about censorship.
I would say that most people who own a computer use local apps, and that the experience, and long-term costs, of using a local program is often better than doing something completely cloud-based.
Me, who uses low end hardware and can’t spend several gigabytes for simple web apps that I can run locally for 10% of the hardware resources of the web equivalent.

I seriously don’t want everything to be a god damn webpage.
The funny thing for me is that my job is like 80% webpages in LibreWolf on my Linux machine. But that’s because the company uses M365 and Github.
I use various different programs for different reasons just like anybody, but I bet browser + vscode + terminal covers 95% of my work day.
It’s better than an app without Linux version comrade
Just write a linux version, then. Programming isn’t hard.

They use data from webtraffic to make their charts, so talking about local apps doesn’t really have much to do with this website.

That’s true. Your first comment was a bit confusing, sorry.
