Many advantages, for example web apps get suspended if you’re not browsing the tab. But I do agree it’s much more attractive to write web apps mainly for portability.
Native apps also are suspended. Or can be, like na iOS (not being fanboy, I appreciate this mechanism).
Also native, desktop apps also can be almost suspended while not used.
Web apps are just way easier to do anything (rarely good), so many people are doing them without real engineering or algo knowledge producing trash every day.

On iOS web apps get suspended very aggressively, and there is no way for a web app to signal to the browser to not suspend it. I never developed native mobile apps, but I assume it’s less aggressive for native apps and/or native apps have a way to prevent themselves from being suspended. This doesn’t seem to be an issue on desktop though.
