> What is stopping a progressive web-app from performing as well, or nearly as well (to be impercetible).

Direct access to graphics, direct access to network, and direct access to storage.

The problem is that direct access to network and storage are ALSO security hazards.

The desktop is (slowly) making inroads on that front through app sandboxing, backported from mobile operating systems like ios and android. I really look forward to being able to run native apps on my desktop without worrying about the network & filesystem access they have.
