It's been 13 years of "no, you can't do in the phone's webbrowser the thing you can do in a PC's webbrowser, you need to install a fucking app". People just accepted it. The fuckers accepted it.

oh yeah it’s so fucking cool we had a perfect system for representing hypertext and then they added multimedia (cool) and interactivity (okay) and eventually just decided that it should have a cross-platform language for sending any and every possible computer application over the internet and simultaneously it become so totally unusable that developers needed 999,998 different frameworks to make anything with it and they just gave up and made shitty reduced functionality versions for toddlers and called them “apps” and now the web browser takes up 14GB of RAM and no one can ever program a new one again unless they have 20 years and a billion dollars.

you dont need frameworks at all, devs are just lazy and execs are happy to shove garbage code out at breakneck speeds
