If you're on a computer that can't run a web browser in 2026 I'm out of words honestly.

You are moving the goal post here. Some people game on systems that don't support modern browsers.

Also, Godot exported to the web would definitely run worse than a game made directly for the browser.

That depends on how the game was made. Godot exports to Wasm and WebGL, which is web assembly, and generally pretty fast. I don't know anything about that game, but there are certainly worse ways to make games natively in the browser, which could be avoided by using a proper engine. Of course you can also write unoptimized games in Godot as well.

But a good native Godot export is certainly faster then a good web export of the same game made with web technology.

Not everyone can afford all of your Steam Decks or whatever. I am sure there are plenty of people who have to either go do something else while a site loads or browse like this:

Obviously not running much of any browser games there, apart from web form quizzes.

Yes, that's for lazy bastards to try the game for placebo when it would be actually faster to install, or for little Timmy to play on a school computer.
