Doing an "apt install", or just clicking install in some GUI, isn't such a big deal as you're pretending.

I've heard of systems where it's a bit more fuss. But that's a problem with their software distribution model respectively.

To you. Software devs are rarely the targets of the products they build.

Also, I am not pretending. It was my job for several years.

I can just repeat: That's a problem with the specific manner of software distribution on some operating systems, and not a general argument in favor of web-apps.
