Gmail's web app is "extremely poor"? I almost never experience any issues with it, and it's quite streamlined in my experience. It's not worse than the Android app (it's actually nicer, IMO, but that's probably in large part because it's on a big screen). It could be more responsive, but that's about it.

You're right, I was thinking of the web app, but then again most mobile web apps are lacking

Ah, you mean the mobile web version. I agree, that is an absolute dumpster fire that looks like it hasn't been updated since 2009.

Not sure why though, probably just lack of interest from Google.

Usability. One of the worst examples is Google docs, which is almost impossible to use on mobile
