I'm sorry to give you a link but I addressed this here[0]. The TL;DR is computing advances will allocate disproportionately to the big cloud providers, consolidating centralized/server compute which, coupled with 5G and AI, will lead to high-bandwidth experiences streamed to comparatively "thin" devices.
For that being said, I agree that virtualizing apps "right now" is stupid outside a niche unless you have some secret sauce (like Mighty must, otherwise why?), because it's too much overhead.
Preserving resources is why I run headless, and that's why I avoided WebRTC/VNC/video instead of judiciously sent screenshots only on change.

this will also give absolutely new meaning to "deplatforming" which will now mean that not only you can't post on some social media website but you can't use any computer at all.
