I agree with this. In fact I believe that THE WEB IS TAKING OVER MOBILE. Every day a new mobile experience needs to be created and one more developer thinks: "well I'll just make a responsive website/webapp rather than making 2 native apps".
At waiterio.com I personally started with a native Android app in Java, then we added a native Objective-C app then...
I just rewrote everything in React and wrapped in a Webview.
Today a simple mobile app can totally be written in Javascript to look identical to a native app.
I was on the edge of the mobile wave 12 years ago and yet today I barely ever install a new native app on my phone.
There are very few use cases for things that are better done on mobile (ex Google Maps, Uber). Most of stuff are just better done on a larger screen. That said, there is and will be a huge part of the population doing stuff on mobile but frankly they are the CONSUMERS that did not know how to properly use a computer. Sure you can buy an airplane ticket from a smartphone but in reality if you own a laptop and are good with it it will take you less to walk to your laptop and buy it on the laptop then buy it from the couch on your smartphone making a typo every 5 characters you type in.
