> I can't work out why you wouldn't develop a native app anyway Really? One code base, one language, write features once. I think it's more about eng resourcing (headcount, onboarding, roadmap parity / feature drift, etc) than whether making a native app is hard. Anecdotal, but I feel like the React Natives and Electrons have made it so you see less "Sorry we're only on Mac", and "We're only on Android, iOS coming soon!" from apps

> so you see less "Sorry we're only on Mac" There's the problem, nobody's sorry for offering only these static 100MB chat clients taking 2GB+ of RAM once launched. These apps are technically ridiculous, especially since all they do is embed a website. I mean, if all your company's willing to deliver is website, why even bother with the apps... But that's all fine right? We'll just upgrade to 64GB and 128GB machines soon!
