I agree, this article doesn't make any sense without proposing an alternative. Sure, I think most people would agree that the web is still a bit rough for (large) apps. (compared to desktop apps) But nothing that can't be fixed, right?
I can't imaging that native phone apps will still be popular in 10 years. I think that they will be replaced by the web in a similar fashion as web-apps have replaced desktop apps.

There are still popular desktop apps. Native Office is still used widely despite Google Docs and web versions of Office. Adobe applications are still widely used. Most programmers use desktop editors and IDEs. I use a lot of the Mac applications.
