Sure, but this is exactly where frameworks like Capacitor/Cordova can bridge the gap.
Need some widely used native functionality? There's probably already a Plugin for that. If not, you need to write your own.
It's still much less effort than maintaining a full native app. Especially if it's mostly a CRUD app with just a few native features.

It barely solves a problem for someone casually browsing the web, but if deploying one as a native app means using another framework and bundling an app separately then, well, why bother with any PWA APIs at all?
