Why not a PWA using Ionic (or similar)? A PWA can be packaged as a hybrid app if your need to access native APIs beyond what PWA supports.

  Because you might want to give your users a somewhat decent experience.

    Depends on the specific experience you're trying to create but there are fewer and fewer cases where what you want to achieve with a mobile app cannot be done with the mobile web. I can only think of one case in my career where native was actually necessary and not the vanity of the manager having an irrational disdain of the mobile web. Or stated differently: unless it can be articulated why mobile web/PWA/hybrid cannot work for a specific technological reason, starting with PWA/hybrid is always the best approach. If it needs to be native then go with the vendor-recommended manner of development (unless you love painting yourself into a corner 95% of the way through the project -- been there, done that, don't want to go back).

      Integration with the operating system look & feel & accessibility by using native UI elements instead of poorly trying to mimic it in a webview

        Dev teams continuing to ship garbage-tier webapps should not condemn all webapps and webapp methods.
