Yes, it was designed with documents in mind, but this claim that documents are antithetical to applications is something I fail to understand.
You fail to understand it because it doesn't make any sense. It's just a bunch of cantankerous complaining excuses that all serve to under mind the only computing medium users & developers have ever gotten to cooperate on.
Most of the big players are using WebComponents. Once you start using the web well, the web's html looks a heckuva lot like Android Layout xml, or any other widget tree in any other "application" system. (Oh except it also has better out of box experience & better support for arbitrary zoom and reactive sizing.)
Most SPAs fail to live up to their promise, not because there is something about the DOM that is incompatible with a type of UI, but because the chain of command in software development, especially when it comes to web apps, is dysfunctional.
Here here!
Most companies make bad apps, period. It's just more visible on the place where we use dozens or hundreds of different sites a day, many of which we've rarely see, and no one uses apps anywhere remotely that actively.
