> Anyone remember when "frontend applications" were actual applications and not web pages?

I do. And also I remember building those apps. It was not as simple as building webapps today.

Yes, there are downsides to this model (a lot of them) BUT you can whip up a simple app with a beautiful UI in a couple of hours today. It was not like that 25 years ago.
