And then everyone realized web apps sucked and demanded that Apple release an SDK, which they did, and the rest is history.

Early phones ran on incredibly limited hardware and genuinely needed native applications just to do simple things.

We've had 15 years of hardware and browser optimization, Moore's law, and development when it comes to mobile hardware.

Web apps run just fine now. Hell, many native apps are just web apps via things React Native or webviews.
