There are specific things you're just not allowed to do from a browser. These are for safety reasons because it's just insane to allow any generic script that kind of access. So to get that access they need specific permission to run on your device and yeah, it's maybe nothing more really than their website with more access to your device and this can be great or a major mistake on your part.

Many times, yes. Especially with news sites.

The ones that bother me are banking and investment apps where you can only perform certain actions via the app or the website.
