I don't think either is better, both are tools and have their useful use cases. Which one should you pick, whichever you can get things done with. Which ones should companies use, whichever they have the talent for.

Do you want to make a cross platform PWA app? Great, can you hire talented JavaScript developers? Maybe you can only find native devs locally. Maybe they costs less or have a stronger community locally.

Insomniac Games decided a few years ago to use web dev to create in house tools. In the end they realized they have a whole company full of C++ devs and were better off creating native tools.
