Wasn't Steve Jobs' idea to have Web Apps for Iphone but Iphone team talked him into native apps for various reasons such as performance and security and he finally gave in. I would assume the same for desktop versus web apps but as time goes on I think web apps will prevail.

Apple always had native apps. Jobs said web only for third party apps in the first release. Jailbreak App Store came out and lots of third party apps, then Apple opened up.

The webapps thing was a stall tactic because the infra wasn't ready before release. The original iPhone didn't even have a call log.
