WebGL is a pretty limited GAPI. WebGPU is slightly better, but still has limitations compared to modern GAPIs. While JS can be fast, its single threaded nature and many CPU blocking operations are hard to avoid. VRAM on the web is restricted. Download size of your app is proportionally related to users closing tab - they won't wait even for 50Mb+ downloads. Non overridable hotkeys (good luck using ctrl/alt). And these are just a tip of an iceberg. The web tech is amazing and has its unique uses, but why constrain it and use it for the type of app where native would be just better in pretty much every aspect.
