Define fast. Do you care about frame rates? input latency? startup times? memory usage?

There are trade offs, but if you care about high frame rates and low input latency, web apps can totally deliver that.

Look at https://lighttracer.org/app.html, for example.

I tried opening the link and did not even have the patience to wait until "compiling shaders" was done. When I saw the buttons slowly coming up one at a time I literally laughed. Is this supposed to be a remotely good example?

I don't know, it was something that I randomly picked that was really performant on my phone. YMMV.
