Native controls can afford to be richer (in principal) because knowledge transfers across apps. Websites do not enable such transfer: there's too much of a culture of customizing everything. On mobile the problem is somewhat less noticeable because rich native interaction models haven't really emerged.
- pier25 7y agoGood point. In the mobile and desktop world devs are totally fine with using native GUIs that ship with the OS (even encouraged to do so) but in the web world projects are criticized for using libraries like Bootstrap and devs and designers are expected to reinvent the wheel every time. Also don't use a native alert or you will condemned to hell.
