In Facebook's case, it wasn't about money, lord knows they had plenty of that. It was about being more agile. With HTML5 they could play with a lot of different views without having to push a monolithic update to their users every time. HTML5 works better for some apps than native languages do; for instance, I'll bet dimes to dollars you're consuming Hacker News via the web, not a native app.
