I do agree with all of this but I like to think that with some collective effort we'd only be some iterations away for these kind of apps ("Shiny Real World Magazine Simulation") to evolve into something of equal, possibly even better quality? I don't talk about e.g. games or navigation apps nor am I denying the polish which went into the different native mobile frameworks/platforms. I, for one, welcome our heterogenous appscape.
