Native is such an overused word. Lately I have to argue with clients what’s really native or not.
Not things like native WM, or os supplied libs/tooling.
Native describes the user-feeling, not the developer-technology-analysis.
The word "native" shouldn't even be in a user's vocabulary. And I believe it wasn't until Electron polluted the world with inefficient wrappers around a Chrome tab with a custom icon slapped on top.
Once we were living that nightmare, developers of apps aimed at power users, who actually bothered to create a good experience, started differentiating themselves by offering "native apps", as in, "we actually coded an app for your OS". And as the time went by, the Electron web app resellers adopted the term as well.
Bummer. Quick and dirty desktop app in php might be something interesting
