> If people _insist_ on making phone apps as websites, there's Cordova and all that. Such apps are never very good, of course

I strongly disagree. We use Ionic (which is based on Cordova) for line of business apps, and the results are as good as native apps, but with the benefit (amongst others) of having a single codebase for both Android and iOS.

Hybrid apps aren't a good match for all types of app - games in particular - but they do work well for many others.

Yes, all you're saying is it is possible to make shitty native apps too. So that would explain your results. Native isn't a magic wand, but except for the simplest of things web will not be as good. The cracks still show in things like Google docs and sheets and overall those are pretty good as far as web goes.

No, that's not what I said at all. I guess you're only going to read what you want to hear...
