> browser based experiences can be even better than native apps in some cases

Not in some cases, in most cases. Clicking shared Google maps link easily opens correct spot on Web, but redirects me to the App Store for God knows reason why on iOS. If I ever need to interact with a new resource, I go check if there's a web site first. If there's no website but there's an app and I don't really need the resource I just drop it altogether without checking the app.

The only apps, besides built-in ones, that I use are chat, bank clients and some home app automation tools that would be problematic to operate as a web app.
