That makes total sense when you have a nice, fat, mostly reliable internet connection. On mobile, connections are spotty at best, and then don't exist at all on airplanes, in tunnels, subways, etc. Many games are enjoyable to kill time in exactly these situations. The annoyance alone of mobile network performance is worth it to use native apps for many a task.
