Any kind of offline cryptography. Imagine Apple Pay being an app. So all sort of digital signatures, documents, checks, payment codes and vouchers, tickets etc.

IMO this is in the range of „why we use machines to transport if we all have legs”. Technically true, but applications do more than only UI.

I've heard this argument for the past 30 years (we won’t be using apps, everything will be remote console/terminal/webpage/web). Chromebooks were meant for web-first access, and yet native apps are still alive and kicking.
