Categorising what can charitably be called a repackaged website as native or high performance is quite simply lying. It is entirely not the case that it is so and therefore it's neither pedantic nor overly so.

Some hybrid apps are "repackaged website", but others are built to be high performance desktop apps. For instance, I wouldn't call vscode or slack "repackaged websites" even though they're built using Electron & web technologies.
