> some of the most-used, most-purchased, and most-loved apps are web apps
Arguably despite being web apps, not because of. I'd really like to see a quotation for "most-loved". Personally, the only "web app" on my system I love is... Firefox.

Cool, are you paying for the inevitable $200 storage tier upgrade of my next iPhone/Mac?
Every time I see a 5 MB iOS app, I am delighted at how fast it installs. Every time I see a 0.5 - 1 GB monster that does next to nothing (most bank apps somehow seem to fall in that category), I sigh and wonder if I can find a way to actually live without the app. And whenever I run short on storage space, big apps are the first thing to go!
