I think what was meant is lightweight.

Of course a web app can be heavyweight or lightweight just as a native app. Still in a sense that smaller companies might publish smaller apps as web apps to have only one codebase justifies a web app niche for lightweight apps.

Lightweight in interaction pattern and size on the device. Yes, they can load quite a lot of stuff in service worker etc, but it's not the same as coming all at once with everything in application archive.
