Judging by the rest of your post I assume you meant "isn't" not "is"...

That's a completely absurd cart-before-the-horse question-begging argument. 
The *reason* a growing number of people never leave the browser is obviously 
*because* so many idiot trend-whore developers and managers keep pretending 
the web is all there is.

Users are morons (almost by definition), and that means they defer judgement 
to others and thus follow the *trends*. On the desktop, web is the trend, 
therefore 1. Moron users assume that means it's better, and 2. That's where 
all the functionality gets put, and thus, where the users go. Start making 
*real* applications again and the sheeple will follow. Need evidence of 
that? iOS and Android. Are shitphone users flocking to webapps or to the 
app-store apps? The latter, obviously. (At least that's *one* thing they've 
managed to get sort-of right...)

And you can't argue it's a usability matter, because the web sure as shit 
doesn't win on that: Web app usability is crap, and Average Retard Joe is no 
worse at real apps than with the web. My mom's one of the dumbest 
completer-illiterate fucks I've ever met (no exaggeration) and yet even her 
ability with Word - a *REAL* application - is absolutely *NO* worse than her 
ability with a web browser. In fact, she's even a little *better* with the 
real apps like Word: You should see the crap I have to put up with when she 
*attempts* to use any of those god-awful webmail servces. Same goes for my 
dad.

Your argument here is completely rediculous.
