I call BS :-)
Can you share an example of something that can be done more securely in a native app than in a webapp?
On iOS the opposite is true: apps can't spawn processes, so you can't isolate your native code, so if some part of your app is compromised the whole app is compromised.
With websites you can have iframes on different domains which (assuming your browser is decent) will run in different processes.
