- Someone 13y agoOnly slightly so. The answer to that question is "because they can do more things, better". A native compatibility layer does (almost) everything the 'real' system does, (almost) equally well. If it doesn't, people will be disappointed with it, and by extension, with your system ("yes, Windows Phone can run Android apps, but some will crash, and that game does only 20 frames per second") If/when HTML can provide the same experience as native code on a mobile phone, many of what now are apps will move to web-only.
