Why would the browser render engine slower than the Java Android UI render engine?
I am almost certain that the browser css engine is better optimized than the Android native render. IOS is a different story since their render engine is heavily optimized against their own hardware. But still I know that webapps can have the same performance as native apps. And the end of mobile native UI kits will finally arrive. Webapps/spas will take over.
This makes no sense. If webapps run without a loss in performance, then you don't need increased hardware performance in order to see the difference.

This simply isn't true. Run a well-designed webapp and a well-designed native app on the same platform. You'll see a difference in performance.

I'm still waiting to see even one example of this.

True. But it comes at a cost to quality.
