I can recommend trying this out with the Spotify web app.

It is genuinely difficult to spot that it’s actually “just” a website.

When you lock windows while it’s playing it shows up with media details like album art, play/pause etc.

It is additionally “registered” in the start menu, and correct icons and windows taskbar behaviour is used, making it virtually indistinguishable from a native app.

To be pedantic, that is using a precursor to this model, with a UWP app hosting nothing but a web view. This would be similar but conceptually simpler and with less boilerplate.

Its a terrible app though
