If your business is not advertising and/or data-harvesting, then build websites, not apps.

Phones have very capable browsers.

Leaving data uncollected is just leaving money on the table. It's far better to steal peoples data and flog it off. Making a product and selling it for a fair price is very 20th century.

It depends on the use-case, of course, but when applicable I vastly prefer native offline-first (or local-network-first) apps.
