There is no doubt that a full stack angular/rest/json is more expensive to build than WinForms (or MS Access). In any case where the app is widely used by a large number of users I think the cost is justified. We started building web apps because the IT people were fed up with trying to deploy Windows apps. I think deployment was a small part of the issue. We started building web apps for many reasons. Microsoft continually let us down in with distributed technology - they fkd around for three decades and failed to produce anything that worked as well as REST/JSON. DCE/RPC, COM+, DCOM, whatever were all horrible both to write code in, to deploy and to own the ops for. In the case of RPC I don't know if anyone outside of people who write management tools at Microsoft ever used it. As for deployment ActiveX, clickonce, etc were all bullshit too. Client-deployed applications tightly bound to a SQL back (or other back end) were seductively easy to write because the CRUD use case is trivial with a forms generator when you don't give a toss about concurrency, security, etc. 80% of the cost of an application starts after you finish dev and a well written modern, responsive web app costs very little to maintain (and works on all the things both network and device).
