also if I use programming in hobbystic manner, in the past at the age of Qbasic and DOS I have build some applications:
a tool for navigation file, directory and drives ,
a trainer for speed reading ,
a numerologist ,
a File manager (like Norton Commander/ PCtools for copy, rename, kill, create, move files and directories, format drives)
an hexadecimal editor of files
a RAD for creating ASCII interface using ASCII objects (I have posted the adaptation for QB64 some days before the first apparition of the first version of Inform by Fellippe) nowadays we say a RAD for TUI
in the same time I have build a clone of Arkanoid, a clone of Pong and a clone of Snake.

" Does this mean that there are really no limits if using qb64 to create something like a web browser? Or an email app similar to gmail or outlook? Or something like microsoft paint? Or would that be going too far and be better to use higher level languages?"
IMHO ( I am not a developer nor a project man to lead QB64 future)
All programming languages have their own limits,
QB64 is a procedural imperative high level ianguage , no OOP but if you like use external libraries you have much power.
So it is necessary that you use good programming practice to get some degree of results
