This is the first time I've actually heard the opinion that someone thinks we need more apps instead of more functional websites.

These are not features of functional websites, these are features that make every website an "app" and deprecate the idea of a traditional website. Google is embrace, extend, extinguishing the web as we know it. If Apple gives in, it's over, every website will just be an app and want access to your contacts, and your family history, and whether or not you are on Santa's naughty list or whatever.

I think it reflects the general HN sentiment that native apps > progressive web apps.

Functional websites would be wonderful.

Instead we get “webapps”.
