The author conveniently left away the most important benefit of HTML5 apps: at least in theory, you only need to write the app once to support multiple platforms.
With native, you have to re-implement your whole logic (and redo significant parts of the design) for every smartphone platform you want to support, which is a major cost point.
Of course, you will not get perfect UX on all platforms with an HTML5 app without major tweaking, but still the total amount of work is reduced.

And the further away from web page your app is the more tweaking you will need. > With native, you have to re-implement your whole logic And with HTML you have to reimplement all the components wich framework provides — highly specialized and optimized for performance.
