This framing landed for me — "reach" over raw power is exactly right. I've seen the same thing with small business tools: the version that wins isn't the most powerful one, it's the one a client can actually open, use, and trust without an install, an account, or sending their files somewhere else. The local-first point matters a lot there too, especially with photos and customer data. And your note about restraint rang true — once the browser can do almost everything, the hard part becomes deciding what to leave out so the tool stays simple enough to use.
