I don't disagree with any of that. I do disagree with the things you said earlier: It is just not true that the web matters less, nor that Google is the only one pushing it. The web still matters a whole lot. And many parties aside from Google are pushing it - Mozilla, Microsoft, Khronos, Khan Academy, among many others, are all pushing it forward; Google is behind in some areas, ahead in others, etc., just like everyone else. Perhaps you assume that since mobile is important, it means the web matters less? I think it just means that in the new space of mobile, native apps matter more than the web. But that space didn't even exist before, it isn't a "loss" for the web. Native apps also matter more on game consoles, for example. But the web is still very important.
