On macOS, I feel like I install more new desktop apps than I have the time to play with (thanks Setapp). I barely use web apps day-to-day. When I have to, I will create a wrapper app for them and/or interact with them through Raycast. To me the landscape of new/actively developed apps feels alive and well.

A thing I've noticed lately is that a good chunk of the new apps I install on iOS show up with compatible versions in my Purchased list on the Mac App Store. That's probably due to Mac Catalyst and a little bit due to SwiftUI cross-platform. Most catalyst apps are in the same quality category as decent Electron apps. I still prefer those (both electron and catalyst) over a web app.
