On top of that, most of the techniques that mobile apps leverage today were developed for web apps of old. REST + JSON was built as a lightweight data transmission option for Ajax/XmlHttpRequest versus transmitting HTML over the line. Component-based/Reactive UX came about because of the unknowability and variability over browser windows. Asynchronous development paradigms came to prominence due to the high latency of frontend<->backend apps combined with fault-intolerance assumptions. Etc.
