IIUC a web app is essentially a some very old though popular protocols plus a web browser as the runtime. IMO it will always lag behind a native app in terms of access to OS capabilities and runtime efficiency.

Much like a "desktop" app will always lag behind bare metal software in terms of access to hardware capabilities and runtime efficiency.
That's a caricature, but all these platforms provide a variety of scaffolding and security, and the optimal setup is non-obvious.
