Reminds me of “WebRSH” back in the day.
There was also a standalone Java based SSH client that worked from browsers. (Of course now with WebSockets and modern JavaScript capabilities, no need to have the a “real” SSH client on the user’s actual system…)
Unfortunately, not sure there is enough drive for mainstream applications to be developed in for this proposed “web native” interface. Practically speaking, there would probably have to be a way to run them as native GUI apps without the browser or for a text terminal.
Unfortunately, the three environments have relatively little in common aside from the trivial parts… Operating efficiently in all quickly becomes nontrivial…
