I have not found any "good reasons" in the usual issues you'd find to be honest. Many of those harmful reasons are dealt with and tbh where does it differ that much from normal apps? NFC especially. Also: if there would be any issues then try find solutions for that?

Yes, they are being dealt with because Safari and Firefox are persistent. Chrome just releases them.

"Hey, we know that native apps are a nightmare for privacy and security, why would you oppose making the web more like native " isn't a good argument

[danhab99]

Webapps are already protected with the same privacy and security protocols the browser imposes on webpages. What can a native app possibly do that's such an egregious invasion of privacy that a webpage can't do? Filesystems are encapsulated, hardware apis require permission, and cameras now have a nice active indicator. What can anything possibly do anymore that hasn't been fixed in all of web2?

I thought I was going mad reading the previous comments. Thanks for bringing the sane.
