It's definitely far behind where web apps are for instant no-install access, but Android has their "Instant Apps" feature providing similar capability https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/19/google-play-adds-android-i...

Disclaimer: I don't have an android phone anymore and I have no idea how available/useful these actually are

Extremely far behind schedule, but for the apps it does work for it's not even that bad. The android app architecture seems to require some heavy restructuring to do this though, so I don't think it will be attractive for developers. The portability problem of course holds this back from the insane adoption the web has gotten as well. Basically it's too little, way too late.
