If notifications could be brought to Hybrid Apps... that would be the swan song of iOS/Android. HTML5 can access all of hardware on the phone but lacks notifications so it's still not viable to only make Hybrid web apps.

You can do notifications on hybrid.https://docs.ionic.io/services/push/

You can even do push notifications on webapps. https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/engage-and-re...

I think you are missing huge swaths of functionality.

I don't think HTML5 can access the phone's camera. For my app, this is critical and another reason why we're stuck on native.
