Thank you for this comment. It's scary to think that majority of the tech-savvy people in the world never question sanity of web stack and don't see how badly it is unfit for making UI apps.

I switched to Flutter few years ago, and now making all apps with it (which gives web version out of the box along with native ios/android/linux/windows/mac). Hard to believe people still wasting their time on CSS/JS/HTML for new projects and call hacks like this "amazing".

Because the Web stack is not for making UI apps. Things evolve slowly based on needs, like the `aspect-ratio` property.

Of course it's not. Yet it's hard to find non-Electron desktop apps nowadays.
