There are a lot of native GUI toolkits that can adapt to any resolution. The thing is there are a lot more web developers then there are desktop developers nowadays. So it’s cheaper to develop for web.
Web apps are actually more “polluting” as the JIT compilers and VMs needed to run them add overhead. Just compare electron apps to native apps to see which is more responsive / consumes more CPU / more memory.
