If 90% of users are on phones why are 90% of developers making web apps?

Because you can use web apps on your phone or on desktop.

Everything with a screen and an Internet connection, also has a browser.

And most people can't discern between a PWA and native phone. Lots of "native" apps are just mini browser windows, anyway.

I don't think there are many web apps packaged as native apps that have much success, because they are so bad even users notice. Can you name a few?

No. Because the ones that survived, you couldn’t tell they were a nested web architecture. It was seamless. It has to be seamless.
