Ask HN: Do we still need native apps?

Just wanted to know what's everyone opinion on whether we need mobile apps? My position is for the majority of the cases, we don't based on 1. Browser, CPU & GPU performance across mobiles, even laptops. Most 'native' apps and simple puzzle games or runners can be played well in a browser. Given that we've new browser APIs such as device orientation and game controls etc ? Then they're notorious sites like Reddit who try push you to download their app, so they can serve you ADS.
