Agreed re: B2B, but I've looked at a handful of the Webapp / PWA solutions for B2C app store and it's still pretty far away.
B2C users really demand a consistent experience despite the state of the device, and it's hard to get a web stack to do this well. Logical offline behavior is one, but even things like the click response being slightly too slow vs native UI can turn people off.
Beyond that, you hit the same problem with RN / Ionic: Native plugins don't work as well, native support isn't there, and it becomes very hard to debug. This is especially true if you "present" the app to the user as native but use a web stack. For a website in a browser users tend to have patience for things like slow buttons, for native they do not.
As a point of comparison, think about how responsive a game engine can be. That is the user experience people expect on mobile. It's a heavy lift to get web there, and if you don't someone else will build a native experience that will.
