The thing is that web apps are always a worse experience if you have native apps. Linux and Android (and now also Windows) depend on web apps because they don't have good quality native apps. For Apple devices you can always find a top quality native app to use, so web apps aren't any concern. The only people I have met who want to use apps in their browser on MacOS are Linux refugees who were attracted by the "specs" of Apple devices. It's a bit like buying an electric car and lamenting the lack of a gearbox. You don't need it anymore.

I fail to see any iOS without an equivalent native application on Android when the Android application is not actually significantly better.
iOS really is a minority os here and it shows.
I had a really hard time finding a good email client for my Android tablet.
kmail has always worked great for me.
I am using mostly web apps. Not because web apps are inherently better or more convenient, but because ublock origin on firefox allow me to disable any third party tracking.
