If I want to release a native app ASAP, I would chose .NET, Delphi, C++ Builder, Qt,... If it has to be Web stack, it would be hosted somewhere and delivered as a proper Web application.

I think they want an app, but prefer to use web stack, so that's the result. The reason they want an app instead of a web application, is maybe an app gives them more control.

  Which gives the worse of both. Web development has been part of my life, on and off, since around 1998, and I never shipped browsers inside applications, not even during MSHTML glory days. Either proper application, or delivered to the already installed browser. I even refused a job offer where that was going to be part of it, some Electron like thingy.

    Nowadays true native app work is very limited and many companies just use Electron. Oh well.
