Definitely. They may be heavier on cpu and, perhaps, ram, but are extremely light on storage. It's always a tradeoff.
Phones with 16gb or less can so easily be overwhelmed by so many apps we're obliged to use, and pwas can help a lot.
Also, I prefer not to install apps for things like businesses and services I rarely use.
