Yes, because we all want notifications and more things running in the background that can access to the device's ports.

I take the points about not supporting CSS features and some of the other web standards, and the issues around Apple's 30% cut, and I'd add that some of Apple's censorship (eg. banning Parler for a while, asking Telegram and Tumblr to not allow access to certain content) is troubling, but I don't think the way around that is letting any cowboy with a web app send notifications and access bluetooth willy nilly.
