I understand the attraction of something like this. Sure, you can use existing skills and tools to build any UI.
The issues with this are:
- it's not going to match the game at all - it's not "San Andreas" it's whatever CSS the server dev wrote
- it's resource heavy - you have to process all that content on the fly, just like a browser
- it's a security risk - you're running JS on the client, yes it's in a VM but it's still a risk
- more data to download
- bitcoin mining...
- advertisement and tracking and user data
- go play a Garry's Mod server and experience the adverts, the 30 second waiting timers, the "pay $5 to skip ads", yeah... fun.
