Isn't that already the case, only with a thin wrapper to handle notifications?

I've seen many apps on iOS that just feel… weird. Especially the scroll. It's my understanding that many such apps are just web views.

Are you referring to web apps where scroll is hijacked by JS in some way? Because I don’t see how you can get more native than the default browser’s default scroll implementation.

The browsers default scroll implementation never feels like scrolling in native apps.

Even Safari? It's about as native as you can get. I've seen no evidence it uses different scroll logic than whatever "native" app. In fact many "native" apps that reinvented the wheel in their GUI framework have a decidedly worse scroll than many web apps.

I swear there was an article on the WebKit blog that detailed how the scrolling was different, but am not able to find it now.

Exactly. And if I have alternatives that are native, I use those or mostly just do without.

Anyone doing non-native apps on my phone will almost[0] never get money from me.

[0] There has to be the occasional exception, I suppose.
