To have a win-win situation. Most projects are starting with a web project and are expanded to desktop and mobile. If you can reuse your code, technology without any big impacts in performance or UX you will win in any aspect.

That really isn't true. Most mobile apps don't start out as web projects.

That's correct but I'm looking it from a completely different angle. Many projects starting with a responsive web app to support desktop and mobile users at once. When the integration isn't great they will use a shell like Electron or PhoneGap so far from a web-based background. The reasons for this are clear:

- Same technology - Reuse all or many code - Frontend people are easier to hire and cheaper
