Although that is changing slowly. PWAs are starting to get more and more support for APIs on the devices. For example if you install te Microsoft teams app, afaik it’s also just a web app, but bundled with all the rest so that it seems like a normal app.
PWA’s can even have hardware GPU support nowadays.
Regarding Teams, you mean it's a web app on mobile? I thought the MS Teams Windows application was written in that API that uses insane amounts of resources for what it does (although it does work, so I'm not necessarily criticizing using a library that works).
The Microsoft teams desktop app is written using a JavaScript framework called Electron. Electron is just a framework that allows you to write a single-page web app and install/launch it like a native application. Because it’s written in JavaScript (the same language web browsers use. Electron apps are literally their own chromium based web browser. It’s part of the reason those apps use so much of your computers resources) it is OS agnostic and cross platform without really needing consideration.
