From what I have looked into, I guess you are right,
though perhaps a tad too harsh.

It will eventually become clear to everyone, what I've been ragging
on since 1996, that ***THE BROWSER IS THE ONLY INTERFACE***.
Applications must abandon all entanglements with interfacing code.
Just plain HTML is all the user ever sees. On the server side,
it is whatever the developer wants. This opens up the potential for
web-based services, not caring what kind of browser or OS the users have.

You really shouldn't need to do fancy interfacing though,
or require anything of the user beyond some browser ...
OK, in this case you need a local web server and database too.
Well, everybody should have Linux anyway!!!
