Fair enough. Regarding (3): The alternative to Electron-Cordova-Wrapper-JS apps is not "native app" but "no app at all". Most people think about flashy apps that probably should be native. You mentioned Slack. But many apps are just stuff that don't have to be an app in the first place, like apps for specific hotels, bus tickets in a local city, app for the local library etc.

These (web) apps as PWAs would offer a better interface and more capabilities than a pure in-browser web app, but they lack the resources to provide a truly native app.

Banning PWAs doesn't encourage native apps, but even shittier web apps. I'd bet 90% of web apps wrapped in Cordova are there only because they need a) local storage and b) push notifications.
