I think the issue is straightforward, it is simple economics. Nobody wants to spend a lot of money to rewrite applications three or more times. Sure, there are some people who really want a very specific user interface for their specific system, and there are a number of cases where a non-native application cannot do the job. But most users frankly don't care that much, they just want things to work. A vast number of applications can be done using web technologies, without rewriting the application multiple times, and that saves a pile of money. That kind of focus also makes it a lot easier to make one good product instead of three bad ones. Native user applications are not disappearing, but they are becoming rarer, and that is to be expected.
