For most purposes, I totally agree! I think what's really needed are better standards for exposing phone functionality to webpages in a sane and secure way (this already exists for location, for example), and perhaps more seamless interfaces to the web from mobile OSs (navigating to websites, login management, etc.). I don't really buy the mobile native > mobile web > desktop narrative on a universal level. It's certainly true for some experiences but for others the opposite holds. At the same time, the state of the browser as a graphical environment needs some help. HTML+CSS is a great interface for written content, but when it comes to dynamic graphical interfaces, it's a little insane how much we've tried to squeeze into a glorified desktop publishing engine. I'd like to think the future is something more like mutually recursive embeddings of a graphical language and HTML. We kinda sorta of have that graphical language in SVG, but I think it lacks some of the features that make HTML really friendly.
