Native apps often (not always) get you not just performance, but also efficiency, no annoying browser chrome, adherence to platform UI conventions, and utilization of platform-specific features (no lowest common denominator syndrome).

Electron apps can get rid of the browser chrome at least, but it comes with the cost of a redundant copy of Chromium for each app, which is worse than running in-browser in terms of resource consumption.

Web apps would be great if they could deliver the things mentioned in the first paragraph on top of their security/privacy benefits, but I don’t see that happening any time soon.
