Pure native apps are simply not economical anymore.
And what platform do you even mean? Windows? Mac? iOS? Android? Linux?! KDE or Gnome?!?!
And somehow UWP apps manage to be even more sluggish and resource-hogging than webapps despite being "native". Native Android SDK apps aren't faster than webapps either if you exactly match the layout (tried it myself in one case and was shocked by how slow native Android layouting really is).
I think the way forward is to improve and standardize local webapps. But not sure how it could work out when every (established) platform has incentives against it...
