Eh, they're good in that way, but there's trade-offs too. Not every app needs to be always online, but web apps do.
It's also nice to be able to control what version of an app I'm using. I've got a couple apps that won't be updated any time soon because the new version changed or broke something, removed a function, or had a terrible redesign, etc.
PWAs are able to have some offline functionality. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Offline_and_background_operation
