> Electron apps do this. PWAs do not because you are already running the browser.

Sometimes, I might actually not be running the browser. And even if I am, a native app is still better.

> you don't have to run Electron next to a browser

I don't quite see the point you're making here?

> your Electron app lags behind in security fixes compared to Chrome or whatever you use to browse

Any app I download is sandboxed to the point I don't see this as a benefit of any magnitude.

Not to mention I might want the option of not updating (although I think this is an option with PWAs nowadays, although I've never actually tried).

> PWAs have a much stricter permission/capability model than native apps

Ditto.

> so you can run PWAs from publishers you don't trust that much.

I don't want to do that in the first place.

Native apps can do all those things better already. Can we please just have native apps instead?
