I would argue webapps killed them.

Most applications now adays are just electron wrappers.

WebApps also allow a much more flexible update schedule, and other benefits.

Downside: apps now need gigabytes of memory for simple apps. Upside: Linux is now a lot more easier to use as a lot of things are web based. :-)

Are the benefits for the developers or for the users? Does a more flexible update schedule means less QA because you can just push more updates?

Both?
