> Why

Sometimes hobby projects are a fun challenge because of the limitations you set for yourself. “No WebGL” (and “no canvas”) comes directly between “Render textured 3D meshes in the DOM” and “Each scene is a single <pre> you can…”. Why did I write some SQL to use TSQLs geometry types to draw a dragon curve fractal in SSMS way back when? Certainly not because it was an efficient use of the tech or my time!

How this challenge aspect translates to a project that (going by other comments) is largely vibe-coded escapes me a bit, if I asked an ML algorithm to complete a sudoku I wouldn't feel any sense of achievement, but each to their own.

> Why is this an advantage? I have a GPU and…

Away from the “because that was the challenge the maker set for themselves” aspect: WebGL does not always work, such as over most remote desktop solutions (there are of course ways to make the access it needs to the GPU possible, depending on the remoting option you are using, but one of those being configured is far from a given). This will continue to operate in those circumstances.
