Sure, it's possible. But you're basically turning the browser into a virtual machine and building an app on that virtual machine, jumping through a lot of weird hoops in the process. It's unnecessary. Or should be unnecessary, anyway, with a sane operating system.
What? No man, this is all standard mobile web stuff.
A web browser is already basically a "virtual machine". You can even run what basically amounts to native code using WebAssembly (yeah it's closed to JVM but you get what I'm trying to say).
Yes, I know. I'm saying it should be an unnecessary layer.
