Perhaps! I agree, devices and browsers do not properly handle web apps both as a normal tab and after the "download". I don't think web apps will fully replace native apps since there are certain functionalities that the web will most likely never get (such as opening up ports on the host machine to make a server) but I do see PWAs and the like replacing the vast majority of existing applications. Between increased security, sandboxing, portability, Workers, WebAssembly, and more this fits the requirements to make a good >95% of apps.
For the rest, I think either one of two things will happen.
C (and C++, and Go, and Rust, ect) will never die but will greatly change or
Standards are put together to make a "universal" app container built on top of web technologies that expose native APIs. Think Electron but more efficient and with a language more similar to TypeScript.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
First of all, welcome to dev.to!
