1. Why do a survey when you could measure user behavior directly?
2. It sounds like the survey was concerned with the various newspapers' first party apps, but what about third parties? For instance, I read most of my news on my iPhone via Twitter (app), Reddit (app) and Hacker News (app). Oh, and let's not forget Instapaper (app).
If I had to bet, I'd say that these results have nothing to do with HTML5 or the capabilities of the mobile web, and everything to do with the rise of aggregators and social networks.
