    There are tons of apps that you use that are just well packaged PWAs, packaged as an app store app, and you don’t even know about it.

    PWAs only suck on when they suck, just like everything else.

      So… native apps, that interface with a PWA using a web view or something.

      There’s the kicker.

        Yep, just like electron or Tauri. A web view wrapped in a native application.

        These are very common these days, it’s the same use case and value proposition. Mainly because it’s just easier to develop UIs with web technologies that look the same everywhere, never without the app.
