What if I want to program in Java, not JavaScript? What if I don't want to learn how to work with PWA and instead just want have an easily offline-accessible app? What if I wanted to add in-app purchases? There's plenty of reasons for apps like Flappy Bird to be on the store.

The universe really doesn't cater to the howls of "but I just want to!"

  Fair enough. What if I need to program in Java, not JavaScript (because it is a requirement of the project)? What if I need it to not be PWA (because some of the libraries are native-only)? What if I need to add in-app purchases (because it is our business model)? Does changing "want to" "need to" make a difference? It shouldn't.

    Your project requirement, native-only library or business model are choices that can change, not 'needs'.

      What is a need in your model of the universe?

        Making payroll.

    No not really. The universe doesn't care much for stupid business decisions either - the business tends to just fail.
