Ideally, Web is either for thin clients or text/visual focused content with minimal interaction (i.e. anything more than basic forms). Apps are for when a user needs more control (i.e. important or sensitive data that persists on their hard drive or account) or access to your hardware for proper function (aka, games or other resource-specific/intensive tasks). In reality, you want to push everything to an app that you can or one day want to monetize. Web is to be avoided except to advertise the app. I hate it with a passion. Easily my least favorite shift over the 2010's. We advanced past flash to make proper use of HTML5, and can now start blur the lines with aspects like Webassembly and PWAs, but corporate is angry that the WWW never properly optimized itself to monetize easily.
