I only want to subtlety modify this statement that I wholeheartedly agree with. There are a bunch of mobile apps that have no business being native apps (at least by modern sensibility). We are simply course-correcting all that nonsense back to the web. There was this growing pain where mobile native apps provided a tangible improvement in UX (both in being more performant and by doing stuff that wasn't easily possible) over webapps. Devices were slow and web tech immature. Both those statements are now false(or at least less true). Unless you are interfacing with hardware, dealing with medical assurances, or pushing the boundary of 3D... you don't really need to be native. Webapps fit the mobile bill nicely and are more multiplatform. It just makes sense. Of course this is just personal experience, but I was doing mobile before the iphone supported native and wrote one of the first native iphone apps.
