Native vs PWA isn't really an argument if you're using flutter. You're not getting all the performance improvements, just the added functionality but SN doesn't need that
SN doesn't need that
SN doesn't need anything. People do. Giving people choice is a good thing

I'm saying it doesn't need things like nfc, vibrations, or background processing like you get with apps but not pwa

Those features are not the only reason I choose native. In fact, I turn off those features in most of my native apps (the ones I develop and the ones I use) because I don't need or want them.
I choose native because o speed and smoothness on my devices. I like to make the best use of my phones, laptops, desktops and etc.

I think you are mistaking native as in "using the UI widgets provided by the OS". In this sense, no, it's not native. Flutter applications are native because they are compiled into native machine instructions, rather than relying on interpretation by a VM
