Platforms and app engines are orthogonal concerns. I agree that platform guidelines are worth preserving, and the web as a platform solves it by hijacking the rectangle that the native platform yields to it. Any app engine could do the same thing.

That's a terrible solution that preserves nothing. Try using a screen reader with an app rendered onto a rectangle.
