I don't know the reason. I just know enough to discard the "portable applications must be bad" hypothesis.

If I'd have to guess, I'd say that all of your examples sucked in different ways and it is not a general trend.

Three common ways of sucking, I find, about cross-platform apps is that they are often slower, more resource heavy and "a bad citizen" on the platform. Not all cross-platform apps falls under any one or all of those things, but many does, in my experience, and those that don't always suck in another way.
