I'm increasingly baffled by ppl who draw a distinction between "the web" & "the browser". Most interesting properties are abt the browser.
URLs are more abstract but the concreteness of the web helps make it broadly useful.

-
a website isn’t really any different from an app. they can link back and forth, just built with different tech
-
a website can be displayed by any web browser capable of displaying standard web content. An app works on one OS.
-
so the web is "cross-platform by default." That's really the only difference. You can make a cross-platform app.
-
okay, distribution is different too. :) That might actually be the biggest difference.
-
I'm willing to concede that instant access to any website you've never been to before is a big difference
-
and on any device that knows how to render "web content" as defined by "web standards"
