A PWA? Sure. But a native app with seamless integration? No way.

Instead of Windows, macOS, and various Linux flavors, now you've got Windows, iOS, still macOS (for now), various Android versions, and various Linux flavors (including Chrome OS). Good luck!

(Depending on the type of app, you might also want or need to support various embedded devices or game consoles. I guess QT doesn't help there though.)
