Steve Jobs would have agreed with you at one point.

I'm not sure what changed his mind (or if he ever even really did), but he also thought that aside from the native apps that came with the iPhone, everything else should just be a web app.

Or the app store and libs (and apps) weren't ready yet and they wanted to get the iPhone out the door to enjoy being first mover.
