I like native apps (as in, uses the host platform’s UI toolkit) where available, because it’s almost a given that the operating systems’s typography, color scheme, etc are more legible and less annoying than whatever choices were made by a website’s designer. This is especially important now that all major desktop OSes implement a dark mode, which many sites still lack.
Things like reader mode and user styles help a lot with that, but they’re both kind of clunky bolt-ons and in the case of userstyles, often manual since many sites don’t have any readily available.
A lot of this could be improved if browsers had restyling built in as a first class feature and site owners were incentivized to make their sites work with it.
