- finally possible to have big apps in the browser
- for easy cross-platform
- can actually be used in hybrid apps, so cross platform includes mobile browses and apps (more on that see below)
- good for SaaS pricing
- bonus: sync across devices
Mobile: web to native
- notifications
- icon on home screen
- sensors
- performance (a really snappy UI is hard in any browser)
- easy payment and subscriptions
- discovery through the app-store
- integration (share button, storage)
- Actually you might see hybrids without knowing: menu and extra functionality natively, actual main-view is just a browser. Feasible since maybe 5 years, before apps where big because they had to bundle the browser. (twitter, insta, uber etc: https://www.excellentwebworld.com/hybrid-app-examples/ )

- and more meta: Apple doesn't want web-apps to become powerful because they can't get their 30% cut from them. (google is a bit more progressive: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/your-first-p... )
