It's not a failure of the web, it's a failure of corporations to accept their place as just a tab in my browser. It's also easier to track users, exploit vulnerabilities, etc. from within a mobile app.

Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

It doesn't matter if you're the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those... 9/10 people won't.
