I'd like to make small improvement the above software architecture.

I think it should be like this:

20 years ago, the vision was

          Java app
             +
             |
            JVM
            /|\
           / | \
          /  |  \
         /   |   \
        OS1  OS2  OS3 .....

Now it evolved to

                     HTML5/JS app
                          +
                         /|\
                        / | \
                       /  |  \
                      /   |   \
                 browser1 br2  browser3 .... (mobile platforms)
                         /|\
                        / | \
                       /  |  \
                      /   |   \
                     OS1  OS2  OS3 .....

Before, we had one JVM on top of N number of OS's. Now we have
M browsers on top of the same N number of OS's. A progress, in
a way.
