My point is more about the ease of development rather than the quality of the UX. Like I said, I prefer native applications but a lot of these open source projects likely wouldn’t exist otherwise (or they’d be Windows-only with no remote hosting options)

Yes, and its actually the solution to a number of problems. For one, nearly all software devs are at least somewhat familiar with web development so you have a larger pool of potential contributors to your open source project. Along with that, web services can easily be hosted in a remotely accessible way and support any platform that has a web browser.

Starting your project as a web service also doesn’t mean you can’t release it as a desktop/mobile application either because of the existence of things like Electron, React Native, etc.

I do prefer native applications but I admit that any new software project I start is a web service
