I just know the web is very hard for my kids to use, and the more app-like the page the harder it is. Watch them use a page for a minute and they’ll remind you of two or three janky, shitty, or counter-intuitive things about web interfaces that you’ve become blind to, through familiarity.
Native’s much more likely to be ok.
Chief problems are: web interface design tends to be much worse than native (even if they look nice on a screenshot), UI latency is bad and gets worse the more JS you throw at it, there’s more likely to be unhelpful functionality the developer’s accidentally created (selecting the text on a “button” rather then clicking it), and they’re more likely to have weird state-related fragility.
