I think it will change.

The entire web is built on geopolitical stability and cooperation. That is no longer certain. We already have supply chains failing (RAM/storage) meaning that we will be hardware constrained for the foreseeable future. That puts the onus on efficiency and web apps are NOT efficient however we deliver them.

People are also now very concerned about data sovereignty whereas they previously were not. If it's not in your hands or on your computer than it is at risk.

The VC / SaaS / cloud industry is about to get hit very very hard via this and regulation. At that point, it's back to native as delivery is not about being tied to a network control point.

I've been around long enough to see the centralisation and decentralisation cycles. We're heading the other way now

I think on a high level we're in agreement then. All of those points you mentioned are constraints.

> "VC / SaaS / cloud industry is about to get hit very very hard via ... regulation"

can you explain?

		Why? Well mostly due to the unpredictable behaviour of the country which seems to have the control points of most infra these days. How? Well the numerous non-US sovereign technology initiatives are going to be incentivised through regulation with local compliance being the only option going forwards. As a non-US person I am already speaking to people at other orgs in similar space as ours who are looking at options there.
