    Web engine development is more costly than even OS development

    Unfortunately, many applications that used to be desktop applications in the past are now programs that run in the web browser. It doesn’t matter anymore if they are a lot less effective than being native.

    we’re talking costs that often run into the hundreds of millions per year – it’s virtually impossible to fund unless you’re a giant

    That is the problem - the web needs to be a lot simpler, browser development should cost fractions of that. It got unnecessarily, absurdly complex.
