I don't but I use vscode for note taking. Chrome is cross platform and widely used so it would be easy for me to develop a standalone web app that works on most of my devices. I can sync the directory containing my data with self hosted next cloud.
There are other one time use cases where I don't want to install a native app. Sqooshy app is one. Maybe I want to make data extraction easier for someone with directory of old clunky pdf files. They don't need to download an app for that. Also Linux is a bit broken with sandboxing right now compared to browser.
I set up my phone to code recently and the first thing I did was set up my editor to connect to a remote server.
Editing local files seems counter productive since you would think you would be doing most of your development not on a phone.
