You can just download an APK and install it on Android… for now…
Outside the USA, perhaps

Sometimes the best alternative is nothing at all
God, if this isn’t the most “Fuck You!” reply you could’ve made

Ahh, I knew I recognized the name!

Viewing a web browser as the “open internet platform” is the crux of this issue that has gone unchecked for years. We turned a document reader into an application environment. This is the issue I have with PWA. A plastic bandage on a festering wound.
On your points regarding sandboxing, I believe that should’ve been rolled into OS userspaces for years as well, and only developing the technology as it relates to web browsers is a huge oversight that has and will further lead to security issues.
Not everything needs to be an application but building applications in a document viewer is a bit silly.
edit: less cynicism; I want to take a moment to charade all the efforts gone into Linux distributions that take sandboxing and immutability seriously. They aren’t very good solutions either, but it all starts somewhere.
Progressive Web Apps, a crack-pipe idea that allows you to install websites as if they were computer applications. Desktop entries, shortcuts, opens as a single window with no URL bar, everything to make it look like a computer application, but it isn’t. It didn’t take off because it’s not a very good idea, with no very good implementations. In my opinion.

Many such cases of those who do not take advantage!
You are, eventually, and into a brick wall!
Not the virtually endless large language model babble?
Page hits. Good ‘ol clicks baby.
Actual, real, machine-learning artificial-intelligence. Not this sycophantic human mimic shit everybody’s fallen head over heels for. At the very bare-minimum comparison, AlphaFold had an established use-case.
