I think we are missing the biggest elephant in the room: advertisement.

An ad show on a native mobile app pays between 5x to 10x more than the same ad in a webpage.

Advertiser's also get way more data from the mobile app than the data they can get from a webpage.

The company I work for makes 75% of their revenue from showing ads and they pushed very aggressively to install their app.
