You're not wrong, and beyond web pages some of these things could be PDFs or text files even.
My perspective is, if I'm not doing anything evil, why do I have to clear a complexity bar to publish an app? There are also some advantages for simple apps, one is making it really easy to use offline with a nice shortcut on the home screen. The other thing is making it full screen and no address bar helping to decrease distraction.
These are not amazing reasons, but they matter for some people.

It just feels that we have reached this bizarre state of affairs where we create so much useless cruft for vaguely articulated reasons which are often not even true or borne in strong data, but are rather some abstract intuition of some marketing folks somewhere who are probably cargo-culting what they heard from another bunch of marketing folks.
