> Why? Makes yourself a favour, learn any of the native SDK just enough to make a semi-trivial app and you will clearly see what native provides and what webtech solutions severely lack and will be lacking, because the technology was not created with apps in mind.
First off, I ran a iOS native app dev team for 1.5 years and am a huge proponent of native apps. Attacking me personally is something frowned upon here.

It's simple. The iPhone experience is only valid when good apps are made. Imagine you're Lotus123 back in the 90s and Microsoft is trying to compete with you. Microsoft creates a product that can read/write Lotus123 files, but has superior functionality. This is the same with HTML/CSS on mobile. It's called backwards compatibility. It can be the greatest and weakest barrier to entry for any company in today's technology.
