I think this is a short sighted and unfair view of native apps.

It is significantly difficult to provide fluent and fast “native” like experience with WebApps because of browser related overheads.

Another advantage of native apps, at least on iOS, is that they magically “receive” updates in the form of updates to the OS, I.e. when Apple updates the underlying iOS APIs, the apps can directly take advantage of the updates without any developer updates.

Apps also automatically adopt the new OS UI updates if they use native APIs. For example, many apps were dark-mode ready with little to no developer updates when Apple rolled out dark mode.

These are just the few advantages of native apps.
