I really like this way of thinking about it. I try to advocate for internetless development, so it meshes nicely with that.
It also helps me understand the scope of the frameworks. They need to maintain local state akin to saving files locally.
It’s just funny to me how we had this as the default mode of operation many years ago, then lost it because everything went to the cloud, and now we’re realizing that was kinda a mistake and we’re trying to fix it in the new environment.
The reasons why everything left an "internetless model" seem to be getting lost to time but I explained some reasoning here in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37500449
