Has it ever occurred to you that the next generation technology might harness the advantages of both apps and the web?

That's the way innovation occurs. Incremental improvements. Referring back to past implementations. Standing on the shoulders of giants. Learning from both the good and the bad of technology.

When people bring up the debate of Apps vs. Web, it's equivalent to saying "Facebook vs. Google+ - which one will people use in the future? You either get the Facebook like button or Google circles. One or the other, but not both."
