I know that labs, institutions, and so on have safety teams. I know the folks doing that work are serious and earnest about that work. But at this point are these institutions merely pandering to the notion of safety with some token level of investment? In the way that a Casino might fund programs to address gambling addiction.

I'm an outsider and can only guess.

With all the tooling out there for cross platform, a native experience, and better privacy/security than a webapp.

For example, Here are just two frameworks/tool kits that are easy to use and to build desktop apps with.

React Native for Windows and MacOS: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/

Avalonia UI:\nhttp://avaloniaui.net/

Also, If they do use frameworks like the ones mentioned above they will still only release the app for mobile and then rebuild the code for a webapp which is slower and does not have the functionality.
