Absolutely this. Native apps are just so much smoother, and I say this as someone who really wants the web to win, and who used web apps almost exclusively because my 16GB iPhone 6 had very little space for apps. Also, the quality of native apps was much higher (e.g., Twitter feed doesn’t abruptly jump all over on mobile) although this could just be due to more budget allocation into native apps for whatever reason.

Not just smoother, native apps done right are interactive at the visual element level.

Can you elaborate on this? I’m not following.

Native iOS developer here (10 years). Knowing how to leverage UIKit and CoreAnimation properly can give a very smooth UX. SwiftUI has significantly upped the ante on iOS13 and future versions; it's reactive without the middleware layers, and it lets you get your app done (with live view previews) and not have to drag in a pant-load of external frameworks.
