I really like native apps, but I think security is eventually going to be a big driver of many apps turning towards the mobile web or at least some kind of universal platform (Microsoft with UWP and Oracle with MCS both have this).
The incredible demand for features from customers without a lot of care to much else other than maybe uptime is going to shift.
People handing over data, wanting to interact with software, etc will be limited either by shifts in customer sentiment or government mandate. For instance, perhaps every release of software has to be signed off by the CTO who is legally liable for the security of the software unless he took reasonable precautions, similar to environmental law.
Anyway, securing web apps is much easier due to the knowledge we have about how they should work and the fact that it’s an older, more well known platform. The RSA conference recently that leaked all of the attendees data was a stitched together mobile app not surprisingly.
Anyway not sure if it’s going to be a shift one way or the other 100%, but however it plays out security is going to be a big driving force in platform choice in ways it hasn’t been previously.
