@Elucidating
it's absolutely wild to me how much effort goes into turning websites into "native" when it's so much easier to make a portable actually-native app than to make a website that does the same thing

Wait, what?

What sort of "native" apps are you talking about here?

You might be able to make a C program that shares code between Classic MacOs and Windows, but a single codebase between Android and iOS seems implausible, unless there's some secret I don't know.
