If it feels snappy, why would it matter if it’s a webview? Native apps are a means to an end, they’re not virtuous in themselves.

Battery life can be one factor. Many older phones have enough RAM and reasonable CPU/GPU specs to reasonably run modern apps (at least without Google services in the background), but their degraded batteries are already showing their age. In my experience, web views can quickly eat up your battery, regardless of what's in them.
