It should be called webpage or website instead of app?

Nothing about the word "application," even when looking only at definitions related to computer software, suggests a particular platform, architecture, language, etc.

We qualify with "native" when we want to say that a given app was written specifically to execute on a certain system rather than on many systems as made possible by emulation, virtualization, web browsers, etc. so I would agree if this claimed to make ugly native apps.
