Not really, most editors will still want to be in the app store / play store even if they can release a pure web app. From a marketing point of view releasing "an app in appstore/play store" has a lot of value vs releasing "a mobile web app"

Also, iOS and Android since 4.4 have pretty good performances in the webviews.

the point is not the releasing to AppStore but the download from app store. You could release a webApp to appstore but not download it from the store.
