What benefits do you want/envision from a native app over a PWA?
Same benefits we got with RIF/Apollo over Reddit. I'm not gonna mention any specific ones but the idea is that the devs of Lemmy can focus on working out site bugs etc. while app devs can focus on adding features not currently available on the web.
But Lemmy is open source, so any improvements could just be made to Lemmy's frontend/PWA, maintaining a bunch of native apps made more sense when they were hacking around closed source limits.
