I’m convinced the gap in experience between a native mobile app and a mobile web app boils down primarily to user input at this point.

The performance gap is illusory for most use-cases & devices. Safari iOS handling of how a keyboard displays, the havoc it wreaks on the page, and limited APIs to control it are a fundamental issue.

Once 120fps animations are enabled by default that’ll be the icing on the cake. But any diminishment in the ability for a human to reliably enter information into the page is a deal breaker.
