Web. For me it's political. The web is (sort of) an open standard (which unfortunately allowed EME into itself). The desktop clients are proprietary binary blobs, and based on that alone I feel confident in assuming the antifeature superiority outweighs the feature superiority.

I'm even more militant about website vs. mobile app. Few things lower my opinion of a business more than a practice of aggressively steering me from their website to their app (I'm looking at you, Reddit). ALL closed source mobile apps are malware, as far as I'm concerned.
