HTML+JS+CSS is a very refined toolset for building UI that provides you with a content to consume. Sometimes, especially when the content is text, video and images, it’s actually easier to build high quality experience that works very well on all the platforms because it provides interaction modes out of the box that are the same everywhere.

Native apps shine when you do something novel, something that’s beyond text, images and video consumption or you leverage platform specific functions.

IMHO, sticking to Web technologies is a better option for things like Netflix or Amazon Prime but not good for Uber and alike.
