Some things that have changed:
1) We've gone from function to content mostly.
'Apps' used to mostly deal with files, like Word, otherwise, hey were standalone. Now we deal with an incredibly variety of content.
2) We've traded consistency and reliability for speed to market, and rapid evolution.
App releases were once a year, web releases can be daily.
In other words 'the web' is not 'about apps', it's about something slightly different.
