Like it or not, the web is an excellent platform for delivering software applications to users, especially one-off or infrequently used applications.
Let’s use software development tools, rather than web publishing tools, to develop that software.
As an example, shipping a macOS or iOS app, via official means, requires a lengthy review & approval process, upfront costs, buy-in into native languages with little to no use outside of these platforms, a limited selection of tools, and hard decisions about which version of the OS to support based on the features you need vs. the market share of older versions.
People (and teams) choose web development for the lower barrier to entry, and as a platform, browsers get products most of the way to their goals, and fast.
"But we need this and that custom dynamic logic..." well now we're in the realm of software development.
At that point, I'm just going to start the project with React / Vue / Svelte every time because almost 100% of the time, I realize I need to support the features they offer that raw HTML/CSS cannot, or if they do, are very poorly implemented by browsers, hitting limitations with them that become frustrating and prevent you from achieving the scope you're aiming for.
Using any of those three libraries/frameworks is painless, and I can get a project going rapidly and with high confidence that I can support any functionality, interaction, animation, content, routing, and other common web problems, with great ease.
