Power BI replacing a web application?

Thank you for your response. Is it possible if Power BI can act as a web application? Customized and built via HTML and CSS from our end with Navigation and menus? Or, we have to build some sort of a Shell around the visuals and the dashboards? I read somewhere that Power BI can allows authentication/authorization using active directory and LDAP.
Embedding reports via this approach Embedding with Power BI users (users own data) can allow Azure active directory authentication. I don't exactly know what you mean acting as a web application, it is underlying adding a <iframe> to your own web page. You can surely build some sort of Shell around the <iframe> via Power BI Javascript API, see these live demos.

From the sound of it, Power BI can not act as a replacement to our current web application. We are trying to replace our old web application with something new instead of rewriting the whole application with new technology. I was wondering if Power BI has some sort of a template that lets us modify and make it look like a web application to replace ours.
I understood the concept of using <iframe> and create some sort of a shell around it using HTML and CSS as your suggestion.
Thank you so much Eric_Zhang. I really appreciate your help!
