This is especially problematic for the market I work in - small shop, vertical market. Modern, fully-supported html5 and javascript means I can build cross-platform webapps that do really interesting stuff on desktops and mobile devices. Since I'm part of a team of two developing most of the application framework, I'm really not interested in building native apps for iOS and Android to go along with the desktop app- my time would be much better spent making sure the web app works well on all mobile platforms. I've already run into this- I have to either polyfill or avoid using modern javascript APIs (localStorage, web workers) because there's absolutely no iOS option. The nature of my vertical market is such that I could get away with asking my users to run chrome or ff if one works better than the other, but I'm basically stuck with iOS / safari as the lowest common denominator, and have no real options to improve, other than just pulling support for iOS entirely (something I'm seriously considering).
