It doesn't create a new entry in the taskbar with a separate icon and I can't target it as easily for "Open on this virtual desktop" settings. Links don't open in another tab of the window you use only for an application. Shortcuts usually function better also.

Those are just some things of the top of my head

Mmh I see! I used a tool to convert the website to an electron package (for Linux), but the experience was just the same as using the browser so I just went with that tbf

I've used some of those also. I've had mixed experiences with them since some applications always open stuff in a tab which you can only get to and close with shortcuts and the favicon not being used by default on Wayland. I mean those are very minor though hahaha.
