Websites instead of apps on mobile is something that basically always sucks
I find it's the opposite: on my computer, I want native apps, but on the phone, it is very hard to manage a large collection of single use apps because I do not have a keyboard to quickly navigate between them.
If you are on an iPhone you can add a website to the Home Screen and it functions as a dedicated app essentially and the opened instance is treated separately from safari
Uhm, I am saying that I do not want a 100 apps (website-based or native) on my phone because this is hard to manage without better human-computer interfaces like a big screen and physical keyboard.
So I am not sure how making a web page into an app actually helps me?
When they are a web page I frequent, typing a few letters in the browser URL bar gives me the URL to click on and get there.

It is the same on Android.

You can type into the search bar to search for apps on your phone. I don’t really bother with things on my home screen
At least on my up-to-date Pixel phone, home screen search bar only searches the web (by default).
