Whoever would develop such an OS would sure need to get the app ecosystem going pretty fast.

Because that's what has killed Windows Mobile phones.

Hmmm, I don't think is 100% necessary. Web assembly and PWAs have caught up in the last few years. I reckon things like firefox os would have a better chance now.

Some popular services like Snapchat and Tinder do not offer web versions of their service and are app only. The app ecosystem is important to get everyone on board because some companies prefer to keep their product off the web.
