You seriously think going to an App Store, searching for an app, waiting for it to download 10s of megabytes (potentially over a slow connection), and then opening the app is a better experience than opening a web page? I have no idea what your quoted passage is, by the way. If one of the complaints in there is "it took a whole 5 seconds to download", how on earth is the App Store alternative better? There's literally zero chance of getting an App Store app downloaded and opened in 5 seconds.
