You can't do push notifications on iOS from a web app. But apart from that there's a category of apps for websites that never should have been made, if that's the kind of apps you have been building in the past 5 years it's OK you realise it's time to stop making apps nobody uses. I've built some of those apps in my time but the majority of my apps couldn't be done without sacrificing or completely preventing functionality as a web app.
