It’s cheaper to build single page apps using web developers than to build and maintain multiple platform-specific native apps.

Not everything needs to be a native application, nor should it be. The vast majority of SaaS and such apps are SPA/equivalent and would NOT benefit from being yet-another-installable app.

Could you provide examples (not exceptions) maybe to support your PoV?

Could you provide few examples of such apps that would not benefit from being native?

So the smaller-scale correlate would be that SPAs can make more sense for proof-of-concept or hobby-developed applications that need some cross-platform access.
