I see this a lot where the person/people making the decisions decide they can make a product that's almost as good but for less resources/money because they will be able to use a lot of existing 'web' code and be able to use existing web devs or simply hire another one. The reality like this article suggests is it will take a long time to get something that works almost right but isn't right, even if somehow the performance doesn't matter going forward with much faster devices. It gets pretty hard to try and get a webapp to work with native parts of the OS and features that your users might want or expect.
