the web is and will always be a 'content delivery vehicle'. Apps which run on the web are a form of content. Not all data is open, that is unfortunate, but realistic. At the same time, huge amounts of data is open and available without an app. What is the use case where we lose to something because of native performance improvements in javascript? Anybody who wants to build a simple static site can still do that, and I'd suggest the majority of the web is still just that, or very close to it. I really don't understand your comment about 'executables that only run as long as you are on a page'. You can only read content as long as you are on a page as well. Or are you concerned about our ability to do search and data-mining on large volume of available data?
