Can you provide data to substantiate your claims? I'd truly like to know if this is true, because my intuition and experience tell me the opposite. People like downloading and trying out new apps. I also disagree with the premise of this post. Many people exclusively use their phones and would never utilize a web version of an app.

I think it depends... it's probably bias to more technical users vs moms, dads and kids generally. I know I'm far less inclined to use a native app for something new. I also hate when I can't do updates from my desktop. I use linux, windows and mac regularly.
Of course via cordova, it's easy enough to create a thin wrapper and add a few bits for notifications and better capture integration (if you need photos/video, etc). Since I'm mostly doing react these days, I'd consider react-native a natural next step.
