For HTML5 games and such, I'm sure it's more app-like in that you may not be able to launch the game without installing the app, but most people basically just redirect users to the normal site. Obviously this makes the use of the name "app" seem bizarre, but the advantage for ChromeOS users is that we make it easier to get back to Wikipedia.
