Those are all apps that actually need more access to the machine's resources. That's not really a comparable to what -most- apps in all of the major app stores do. Most of the apps in the app store are just for media consumption and generally the web version is better than the native app. See Facebook for example. Media consumption v media creation I think is the distinct line that need to be crossed before a native app makes a whole lot of sense.
