This is just an incredibly odd statement. First of all, if such layouts are rendering on your machine then of course native applications are also capable of such a feat. Web browsers capabilities are limited to the resources being made available on the host machine. The same goes for any software running on the machine.
And second: Qt.

On iOS they do. On Android 99% of users won't use a different store.
> Cross-platform frameworks exist for native applications.
Nothing really good though. Best ones are RN and Flutter which do not get you there 100%.
A PWA will consume less memory and will be smaller than a RN or Flutter app.

Not on iOS.

Theoretically, yes.

Remind me again how much a QT license costs?

For the last 10 or so years UI development for the web has gone from archaic jQuery imperative DOM manipulation to a new paradigm with data binding and reactive data.
UI data binding in the native world exists but is extremely complicated and tedious. AFAIK the only thing that is similar to what we have now in web dev is SwiftUI.
Software was distributed long before those walled gardens popped up. Native applications need no store.
>- Crossplatform (in use and development)
Cross-platform frameworks exist for native applications.
>- No store/developer fees to pay
Same goes for native applications
>- CSS and HTML are capable of things native can only dream of like real reusable responsive UIs across many types of devices.
