To me the problem is right here: why must every web app work on all devices? And why, if you build an iOS app do you have to build one for Android too?
If you're a small business, getting your first 50k, 100k, 200k customers is what matters. You can do this more effectively at lower cost by focusing on just one platform / browser / environment.

If your web app doesn't work on their device, they're going to leave and use something else. The days of people being tied to their laptops is over. "And why, if you build an iOS app do you have to build one for Android too?" You don't have to, but if you want success, it's probably best to try and reach as many people as possible. And there are more Android users than iOS users.
