Because they appear separately on the user’s task switcher. Honestly there’s not a lot more to it than that. And users do appreciate being able to switch to e.g. Slack specifically rather than switch to their browser then find the Slack tab.
You can do all of this with progressive web apps too these days, but every time they come up in HN people crap on them, so… shrug
