This isn’t a mainstream solution acceptable to most users. I didn’t create this environment. I’m just attempting to optimize within it.

Most people don't use mobile web sites? Really?

That’s not at all what I said.

A mobile website is not an acceptable ‘form factor’ for functionality one might expect to find in a native app. It violates user expectations and is a significantly inferior medium for achieving mobile clientside functionality because it introduces friction and there are limitations on what can be developed (e.g. no notifications).
