That might unfortunately be true. However, even that is a misconception on the part of companies thinking it is "easier, faster, cheaper" to create web-based apps. Building something with web technologies that's on par with native is hard and difficult work. It's a myth that it's so much easier and faster to build an app with web technologies. It could very well take longer and still have a worse user experience. Building a simple native app is, well, simple. It might be way more complicated to build it with web technologies (if you try to mimic native).
