This depends on many factors but a PWA can be inspected by third-party using the browser developer tools which makes easier to find out about its communication. You can do that with proxies and other heavier tools for native apps, but it it requires more skills than the former. Also the web platform is very private, you don't get access to files and many other features without user consent. Native apps might not be like that even though Catalina is going crazy with the permission dialogs.

If anything I find the APIs more feature complete, albeit less well documented as... well, let's face it, this is Apple and macOS we're discussing here. ;P I'll also note that "requires more skills" seems like a bit of a blanket statement to me. They're just different sets of skills.
