The point of the article is web vs native.
The author states what he feels is holding native apps back: they’re harder to build in a cross-platform way and they have to be installed. Then the author discusses the current state and the future of those two issues.
I feel that discussion was valuable for not merely pointing out issues but thinking of solutions as well.
