The parent gave you valid, legitimate reasons why people do it, and you’re saying “yeah I’m ignoring all that because -technically- you can do the same things on the web”.
The user experience is undeniably better in most native apps, that’s just reality. Nobody’s saying it’s impossible to match it, but to make a web app that comes close to a native app in terms of UX takes a lot of work. Most web apps are nowhere near the level of polish or performance that comes for free with an OS’s UI tooling.
Think about it: If what you’re saying was true, then you’d see services with web apps that are of equal or better polish than their native apps (since they usually maintain both, like how eBay/Twitter/Reddit has their web app and the native app), and that just basically doesn’t happen.
