So native would not cover mobile apps?

It depends on the host platform.

On desktop, all native apps are desktop apps but not all desktop apps are native.

On mobile, all native apps are mobile apps but not all mobile apps are native.

This is where I believe we'd differ. Postman already had a "desktop" app in the sense that Chrome apps also existed as desktop apps and when we ask users to switch, they wouldn't.

For most users, desktop apps = things that run on the desktop.

What you say you differ on doesn't seem to be incompatible with my assertion.
