I don’t have some objective reason personally, I just don’t like web apps for 90℅ of things.
me neither, but the discord app is a webapp just as well. the difference is that it runs its own browser engine, and so uses more system memory, and that it has free access to everything in your computer (and your local network), including your files, the audio devices, and lots more information on how you use it.
I’m curious does the web app allow for pass-through audio devices (an audio interface) or things like voicemeeter?
I’m not sure, I don’t understand what do you mean by pass through audio devices. what do you use it for?
I would think that if it had access to those in the discord app, it would still be able to do so in the web browser, but now it would ask for your permission.
I have never used such devices, but I assume that either they appear as normal audio source devices in the system, or voicemeeter makes one for them.
at the same time its ridiculous how limited voicemeeter is regarding the number of audio devices it can handle. its an artificial limit, even in the paid version

Instruments and a nice microphone. The audio interface handles both hardware side and passes the audio via USB to the PC
