Nonsense. Judging from your previous post it is apparent you are speaking outside of your expertise. Smearing labels all over rather than factually responding only makes it more so.
You claimed sandboxed browser apps was "more secure" than a traditional app.
Nobody suggested otherwise. In fact, we weren't discussing brower sandbox security model up to that point, but the differences between a online-only closed source web app and a traditional FOSS app.
> I know how browsers and web apps work.
So do the lot of us here, yet you don't seem to share a common understanding of the domain.
You do have a skewed understanding of the web app and seem to fail to understand why people would want a traditional app they could inspect and lock down as they please.
This suggest to me you are junior and/or suffering from a bit of Dunning Kruger because you might be skilled in other areas (in this case skilled in web dev and unskilled in traditional app dev), hence my previous comment about your skill level.
You responded to a lengthy post I made, and yet you fail to address any of the points raised.

.. was questioned by me and others and you just ignore what was said.

Get off your high horse.
You haven't shared shared any truths, you haven't addressed the issues we raised and you have a rather rude tone saying things like:
> You have made one of the most baffling logical errors that commonly crop up when people criticize browser-based apps.

And then continuing to fabricate intent.
(My point still stands).
