Agree with the author it's lamentable how mobile dev is almost totally focused on native apps. Solid UX is possible now on the mobile web but unless the user adds the site to their home screen (on iOS) the top and even the bottom of the browser window takes up valuable screen real estate. App stores provide a better monetization and distribution scheme than browsers do on mobile, which makes it hard to justify spending time on a mobile web site. The big gripe I have with mobile web support today is Safari on IOS 7 where it is now impossible to permanently fix an element at the bottom of the window.
