Well let’s see. 1. Mobile apps convert higher than the web. https://buildfire.com/mobile-apps-convert-higher/ 2. Developers were clamoring for native apps each time. Not the mobile platforms. You act as if the modern web development environment isn’t a clusterfuck of complexity compared to modern IDEs for native apps. 3. Both Apple and Google have initiatives where you can have small instantly installable “applet” eq…
1) That's a totally different number... Apples and oranges. Conversation in this case is getting an icon on the users phone as opposed to sale. Mobile stores have really really low conversion rates. 2) Assumes facts not in evidence. This is not a universal opinion. 3) Still has the gate keepers, yet another platform to write for, etc etc. Lower friction might help vs PWAs, that's something at least. 4) Assumes facts…
1. Do you have any other numbers?
2. Really? Were you not around when they called Steve Jobs “pretty sweet solution” of web apps a “shit sandwich” in 2007, or when developers complained about non native SDKs on both WebOS and RIMs newer platforms? Are you really claiming that native apps are not more performant than web apps?
3. And those “gatekeepers” allow more monetization than the web ever has.
4. Are you saying that I’m not constantly getting GitHub messages about a security vulnerability somewhere deep down in a dependency chain for an open source project that I contribute to? It’s a popular company sponsored open source project.

Have you not enountered sites that app-wall you? Sites with useful content, such as Reddit - not allowing you to view the user-generated content unless you install their app? It sucks - but it exists.
No, I haven't noticed that. Sometimes websites ask, but I don't even see those "would you like to install our app" popups that often. Reddit has certainly asked me to download the app, but never forced me.
It does this under the guise of protecting you from certain content, like an nsfw post will require you to download the app, although I think you can get round that using the old. prefix rather than www
