How do people install their AAA games and Photoshop today? I'd think the majority downloaded them, right?

There are plenty of downsides to having ubiquitous WASM-compiled cross-platform "browser-native" apps, and having basically everything forcefully turned into an experience akin to ChromeOS out of convenience for app developers, but that doesn't feel like one.

I mean, web apps today are optimized to get a click-and-play feeling. Software like Photoshop or GTA5 isn't optimized for that, you need to download and install them for hours.
