Native applications are way better on Linux, too. But only where they exist. There are plenty of "apps" where there developers have taken shortcuts by getting "Linux support" by using Electron. These app perform noticeably worse and are generally disliked by their users.
Good native Mac apps are on the decline too.

What are you missing?
I was lamenting the lack of native UI in Blender last night.
I’ve been using Nova for the last few years. Increasingly native non-Xcode development tools seem to be few and far between. I have BBEdit and Nova, but a lot of people have switched to VS Code it seems.
Only if you're stuck on a depreciated platform like Linux. If you are on Mac, native applications – real applications – are much more powerful and usable than any web wrapper on Linux.
I've noticed Linux users have taken a habit of proposing their broken way of using a computer through the browser for other platforms as well. But on other platforms we are already spoiled with quality software.
