> Does this not qualify as a web app replacing a client entirely?

If you can pull up a video stream from a surveillance camera in your house then you no longer need a home?

When you watch Daredevil on the Netflix App on your phone do you think that the actors are inside your phone performing live action for you?

What they're discussing is a web app that allows you to interact with a remote client. That client OS still exists and the UI/UX is still being rendered by a nonweb technology, the pixels rendered are just being streamed to your web browser instead of to a monitor and your inputs are being captured and transmitted to that client OS.
