And none of those companies thought the web app was good enough to eschew native apps on Android. Why is that?

Because they have the budgets to do both.
That's why you're asking the wrong question.

Companies don’t just spend money because they “have the budget”.

No but that doesn't refute my point, does it.

What is your point? If the vast amount of the industry thought PWAs were good enough, they wouldn’t create Android apps when a web app would do.. Companies don’t just spend money needlessly.
You should see a proliferation of cases where companies create an iOS app and a web app for everyone else.
Reddit, Trello, Twitter. Probably Discord and Slack too.
I haven't used Android in years but I certainly don't see why these wouldn't work as web apps if you had push notifications. All the functionality is there.
