Have we lost the knowledge how to make native software? Do we really have to use bloated, memory hogging "web apps" disguised as executables? Is cross-platform really worth the performance impact?

Where did you read that this is a web app? To me it seems like they use kotlin/swift on the respective systems. This is as native as it gets.

I'm dumb and wrong. It uses Rust, SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose.

I have a gold medal at jumping to conclusions.
