I used them a couple of times, for that kind of user experience I rather use a PWA.

Yeah, but the average user doesn't know what a PWA is and they want to install an app through the app store. Furthermore, with Cordova, you can also use plugins such as In-App-Purchases or access to more persistent storage (SQLite) instead of what the browser offers.

You can package PWAs via the stores as well, in which case they are able to access native features as if they were browser APIs.

Not yet on iOS, or am I mistaken?

Cordova can access native features on phones via plugins - database, camera, sensors, etc. As well as use different designs for Android/iOS with the same code via Ionic/F7.
