What are the benefits and drawbacks of using Web development languages for android?

Question

If you design an android application based on web development languages such as HTML, CSS, JS and PHP, what will be the benefits and drawbacks?

Answer 1

To do this you would basically have an Android application that uses a WebView and embeds your web content, which has a lot of drawbacks performance-wise.

I'm not an Android developer but I would think you would lose out on system-level APIs that allow you to do much more on the target platform.

Kotlin with Android studio is recommended for Android applications.

If your application is completely web-based, why not just a website? You wouldn't need to worry about platform-specific concerns
