I don't think that's even remotely true.

For example: Photoshop, Autodesk Maya, Da Vinci Resolve, Premiere, Ableton Live, and a very long etc. Those are not your crappy Electron apps, but industry standards.



I find people generally overplay the "all apps must look native on my OS" card as an argument against PWAs. Yet they are often very happy using Google docs for most of their day to day work... I personally like the fact that a web app looks the same across all OSes. I find that is a better type of consistency to aim for, in that if someone changes their OS, they don't need to relearn your app's UI.
