My point is that there is nothing* preventing any native app from including code to update itself. Over time, I believe that more and more native apps will do this. For example, Firefox is moving in that direction now.
* Except for in the case of iOS. Apple has a policy that apps are not allowed to update themselves. But there's still no technical limitation.
