We use web apps at my company because almost all developers know how to make them, not all computers are windows PCs, and you don't need to install anything of download anything for someone to use them.
If you're talking about electron apps, that's a whole other ballgame. We don't build electron apps for internal stuff afaik.
To be fair to him, it used to be that everyone knew how to make desktop apps and no-one knew how to make web apps. So that's definitely not the reason.
I can tell you with 100% certainty that the primary reason we build webapps for internal products at my company is because all the developers already know it. I understand this is more of an anecdote, but I really find it hard to believe other companies aren't making similar decisions.
I can tell you that I agree completely with that. But, that's not at all what I'm disputing.
People within companies are building web apps because thats what they know. The world has changed in the past 10 years. In response to that, you took a hard line stance that this is "definitely not the reason." I disagree.
I _think_ you're trying to argue about why developers -- as a whole -- have moved towards web apps, but its hard to say because that's not at all what I'm talking about and you haven't made that part clear.
If you're talking about electron apps, that's a whole other ballgame. We don't build electron apps for internal stuff afaik.
