Oh yeah because so many of the web-apps and SPA’s were forced to put up with are so much better than apps. Some businesses wrap their pages in an app and it’s equally bad, these orgs will do “lowest effort” in whatever format you give them, so that’s pretty moot either way. The people and orgs that do build actual apps present an experience that is far nicer than the equivalent web app. They’ll often work partially offline, they are most efficient and responsive, and better behaved at staying in the state I left them in, unlike your average web page. Commonly the counter argument here is “oh but PWA’s” or “but one more JS thing” or some such, which gives real “please bro, just one more lane, one more lane will fix it, please bro” vibes. Also, the browser monopoly is even worse, google basically does whatever it pleases and everyone else has to kowtow or feebly resist.
