A website has write access to my screen, my speakers and my internet connection. Plus limited read access. To keyboard, mouse, device orientation etc. Other rights can be granted (location, cookies etc). It can do all this only as long as it's "open".
An app usually has read/write access to large parts of my device. The whole sd-card, raw internet access, the camera, the microphone, ask me for money etc. And it can keep doing so even when it's "closed".
We will see the two converge. Websites will have more rights they can ask for. Apps will be better to tame.
But trust will keep being the differentiator and they will keep co-existing. There is friendship and there is marriage. Both have their use case.
