This. I've really come to love the idea of PWAs. As bloated as the modern web is, it can do just about anything with the right APIs and permissions, and PWAs can work totally offline. Browsers are also usually built from the ground up with security and fine tunable permissions in mind.
A lot of mobile apps wind up rendered by the webview anyways, and a bunch of desktops bundle an entire browser like electon in just to be written as a site and then run as an app. Skipping the middle man saves a bunch of space on your device, keeps things a little more secure and private (if done right), and makes the app instantly OS agnostic as long as you've got a desktop and mobile layout.
