Why should Apple be suddenly forced to abandon their platform and create their apps on the web just because they connect to online services? Maps.app is a great smooth, native experience. Google's new WebGL maps are equally smooth in Chrome, which is impressive (the old ones didn't come close), but they're not native, and they're not what Apple has so much expertise with. (I'm not so sure about iBooks, though; while anyone not on one of Apple's preferred Maps platforms can just use Google Maps, iBooks hold purchased content hostage with DRM. This is why I don't use iBooks. On the other hand, it's not like a "open web" app would be a good solution to this, since it would be just as annoying as the app to anyone wanting to customize their reading experience; getting rid of DRM would work better and make it pretty much OK for Apple to ignore other platforms. Maybe someday...) Note that Apple is working on iWork for iCloud, so it's not ignoring the web entirely.
