Support for iPhone X is trivial unless you’d made bad choices before.
Anecdote, but as having extensive experience in both areas (20 years web, 9 years iOS): natives has way way less annoyances.
I check out "modern" web development from time to time.
What's the state of the art in 2018? Can you have a DIV with a fixed aspect ratio fitted to the screen? Last time I've checked (in 2017) this was impossible without JS.

It's admittedly far from obvious, but that should be doable by determining the height of the DIV with the padding-top of a child element, and limiting the width with max-width limited to at max height * aspectratio, so it doesn't overflow the bottom if the page gets to wide. Not really anything fancy and new in there either.
Ok, this works only for fullscreen because of vh. Let's say I want this to work within another DIV too, so you can't use vh. (and the parent DIV's size is flexible, so you can't hardcode it into calc(...)).
We'll you seem to think they work on Chrome Safari. I develop on Firefox and test on others. From other comments you seem to be a desktop developer now reluctantly working on web. Targeting just windows OS would be simpler and easier I agree. But we have moved into multi platform now. Needed to up the skills.
That said for native apps be it desktop or mobile using native tools would be the way to go.
