Good article. But the trend of the internet it to not use a browser but an app that often emulates a browser.

Which is still a client. I honestly don't care if we are talking about a mobile app, a PWA, a browser extension, a SPA or a dedicated app: as long as the business logic goes to the edge and the server is a "mere" dumb pipe, we should be okay.

That would be better, but also put more cost on the users who have been spoiled by decades of someone else paying for incremental access to, storage of and processing of data.

I'll read that but before I do, I want to point out that developers generally have the latest, most expensive tech and they generally build for that first.

We are not talking about complex tasks like video transcoding or ML training. ActivityPub is first and foremost, a messaging protocol. The most heavy thing that "must" live on the device is the user data. Sqlite can handle those workloads without a sweat. Old devices that can do XMPP group messaging should be more than able to do this.
