> It is now possible to build PWAs that are indistinguishable from their native counter parts

It's not now possible, but even if it were, it would only be because the native app does not in fact use native components.

The Starbucks app already doesn't feel native, with its custom casing, fonts, navigation and behaviors.

It's reasonably doable to get a PWA looking and feeling like a native Android app if you opt to use Material.io or Polymer's Paper Elements. Some behavior isn't 1:1 though, which can be frustrating.

What about iOS and others? Are we going to have to make multi versions of an app to make them look native?

For that matter, what does a native android app look like? I've never seen any consistency between apps at all, let alone the sort of consistency you can get with gnome, KDE or older windows.
