I distinctly recall using a vendor's demo in a no-nonsense show-me-the-money kind of industry, about 4 years back. It was something that would definitely have been built as a "web app" at most shops I've known since, oh, 2012 or 2013.

It was remarkably responsive, fast, and light. Everyone who used it commented on how snappy it was.

It was PHP, doing full-page reloads on damn near every interaction, with minimal Javascript.
