> Does anyone have any insight into the major differences between native and web app in 2021? No general insight, but Telegram has two web apps that try to emulate the native app [1]. They do work fairly well but are definitely glitchier than the native app (or any native chat app). > For the rest of the differences, it feels like much of the benefit Apple brings to the table (view management, security, continuity between devices, distribution, ...), does appear to carry a premium when placed in comparison to building a monolith web app. That might be true, but the value free apps like WhatsApp bring to the iPhone is unmeasurable and WhatsApp pays exactly 100$ a year to Apple for access to all the tooling.
