What's the real difference between an "native HTML5 app", and an "app" that's just a website loaded in an embedded webview, which also takes advantage of HTML5 features to continue to work when you're offline?

You'd expect the latter to change whenever they update the server—so why not the former?

These aren't necessarily HTML5 apps. React Native, for instance, is just a framework that lets you drive your app from JavaScript (native views, no HTML) instead of compiled code.
