While I totally agree way too many apps are just webpages, the problem is that a bunch can't be easily be webpages, even with all the HTML niceness.

The flaw in this argument I think is that does the author think you can build a great PWA for less than $100k either?

In my experience of doing heavy duty mobile web, it is horrendous to polish to a high standard. It was actually more expensive than doing native apps (before even Xamarin/RN) if there was any tricky parts in it.
