I have sometimes wondered that what made the "web" special compared to the earlier BBS and leased terminal attempts is that we can have multiple "connections" up at the same time.

If the C64 back then could have brought up 5+ BBSs/terminals at once for various services, we could basically be looking at the same as a browser with 5+ tabs open to various sites/services.
