Also vendor lock-in and a mobile/tablet-only mindset. Fine for some apps, not so great for applications that should be available to all (e.g. a national income tax filing application or a public transport travel planner).
A good responsive webapp works on every modern computing device out there. That really is awesome.
> The web environment was not made for apps and it shouldnt have apps developed on it.
It evolved into it. That doesn't mean that static no-nonsense informative websites should not exist; on the contrary. It means that despite its flaws, we have a modern application execution environment that is cross-platform and constantly updated (if we limit the discussion to Chrome, Edge, and Firefox for now which are kept up-to-date automatically on most operating systems). It's not perfect, but at least it's inclusive.
