And client side scripting is not what is was 10 years ago. We now also
have HTML5 with canvas and WebGL, WebAssembly and web sockets and you
get full featured office applications in the browser:

And this also works very good in Nextcloud, which also uses client side
scripting a lot even though it uses PHP on the server side. This makes
collaborative live editors possible which just did not exist in the past.

In fact browsers became a universal application plattform.
