That's why I like Chrome's (and various Chromium browsers') ability to app-ify sites. Will create a .app in MacOS, .desktop in Linux, etc. Launches as what looks like an independent app with its own dock/launcher icon. Utilizes most of their PWA stuff.

Sadly, it looks like Chrome has hidden the option completely in the latest version unless you set a flag that will probably go away in a few releases. Edge makes it pretty clear.

I wish Firefox would bring the feature back. They deprecated it years ago and I use it heavily (only reason/time I use Chromium stuff on most of my machines)

I know it from Android and I was using it quite frequently as well. But in my opinion it's better as a website alternative, compared to being a complete replacement for apps. Things are less buggy and more smooth for me that way.
