I distinguish between web applications and thin clients. When I was in the business, a thin client meant you ran everything through one instance of Chrome, but today's web applications don't work that way. They each bring their own Chrome with them. It's much less memory efficient but allows them more control over what version is running their app. Also, many web app based applications still have special extensions to expose features Chrome normally wouldn't.

It's possible the terminology has changed over 10 years.

I'm a Linux developer who's made Electron apps, I have complete and total understanding of everything you're saying. You don't seem to be understanding the thing we're saying, which is that if you really really need a specific Microsoft or Adobe product, your best option is still Windows or Mac since Wine isn't very good. This is a fault of those corporations, not technology.
