I won’t debate your analogy because I think it is flawed for reasons such as you can’t change the fundamental definitions of a car as easily as we can change web standards, as we have done over the past 30+ years.

I will point out that I routinely use Reddit on mobile Safari and it is most certainly a web app. Things like Twitter, Facebook, etc. are also apps, and while you can download a native version, for privacy reasons I prefer their web app counterparts as they are less able to spy on what the rest of my phone is doing.

I will also again point out that Google Maps is a better experience than downloading OpenStreetMaps and setting it up yourself. Even something like Slack and Discord and Google Docs are perfectly good experiences on desktop browsers and require no installation whatsoever. You aren’t really addressing the zero installation point at all and that’s at the crux of why web apps are a thing and their main draw. You quoted my conclusion and called it nonsense without any basis since you provided a straw man argument and didn’t address the main point at all.
