I think webapps are accessed solely through the browser. It doesn't make sense to differ them based on 'low level access.' I have an app that is essentially just HTTP requests to a RESTful server. I have access to all the features any other app has, provided I am granted the proper permissions. I still only use the app to communicate with a webserver via HTTP.
It's why we have someone saying "wefwef does things I didn't know a webapp could!" Probably because it's not a webapp. It's just an app, lol.
It also has nothing to do with writing an app in a platform's "native language." Jesus. Stop upvoting that guy, lol.
Wefwef is a web app. Its a PWA - progressive web app. It is accessed through your browser. You can "install" it, and access it without the browser interface. It is however still the browser.
