That may or may not be correct from developer's point of view. I am not sure and I am not going to argue that.

However, how about user's point of view. A lot of users (including me!) prefer not to install native apps but use Web apps especially when achieving one-time tasks. Do you have any thoughts/data on what users prefer?
