> I'm not sure what this means... You mean like the propensity of web apps to open non-native modals?

There is a reason why it is called Look and Feel, not just Look.

You can make them Look as close as possible with looks of CSS work, or even canvas drawing, but they don't Feel like native widgets.

> This is completely overcome-able with sustained effort, and appropriate sharing. Flutter literally decided to draw every single pixel on the screen and was able to do it, CSS styling is easier in comparison.

Drawing pixels is only half way there to how native widgets interact between each other, or even basic stuff like dragging content between them, in different applications.

If we take the web part of it, on native rendering side, HTML/CSS are not as powerful as native rendering. For example the visual layer in Windows 10, animations engine in iOS and Android.

HTML/CSS is kind of ok, if one only cares about CRUD applications.
