    Obvious elephant in the room is some of these mobile environments are stigmatized by the need for “security” and taking away the freedom of what a desktop OS offers.

    The very best example is the background playback of audio on a website called YouTube.com.

    Why you can’t play things in the background (yes, I have Kiwi etc and can do this) on mobile is very very telling, and will only get more restrictive.

      If the whole Desktop environment was 1 app wouldn’t that basically circumvent that. Since the whooe environment would be sandboxed together. Sure you have way less hardware access, but for a lot of light productivity stuff thst woulf be enough.
