I'm a web developer with a side project. I don't have the time/energy/knowledge/bandwidth to implement native apps for IOS and android. But I CAN make it work well enough in a mobile browser.
And lets not forget: developing for android is hard. You have a variety of models, with varying versions of android, running on different carriers; i've read some horror stories, and no thanks.
I'm quite quite happy developing for the web and keeping it on the web. I don't have to answer to any gate keeper or ask for permission for a new release. I don't have to share 30% of my profits, or be careful about implementing native functionality.
They just need a browser that can render HTML/JS/CSS. That browser will only get more optimized over the years, the network will only get faster, and the technologies to optimize the web for mobile will only increase.
I say more web, not less.
